Sharing the video, she wrote, "Walking into Cannes like."

For the series, she learnt Kathak.
"My other preparation was I've learned Bharatanatyam since I was five. So that is what is my muscle memory and so to break that into Kathak, that, and also authentic Kathak, not the kind, we see today. So that was my preparation, to make sure that when I come on set, I can take the direction and I can make my director proud."
Aditi checked into the French Riviera on Tuesday. The actor is all set to walk the red carpet for the second time.
Aditi will join the film festival as festival as an ambassador of L'Oreal Paris.
