Singer-songwriter and rapper King created history on the fourth day of the 77th Cannes Film Festival by becoming the first Indian pop artist to walk the prestigious red carpet.

Talking about the experience, King, who is known for his popular tracks like ‘Maan Meri Jaan’, ‘Tu Aake Dekhle’ and ‘Uff’, said: “Cannes. Wow. It’s not just about me. “Representing all the talented Indian musicians at Cannes felt like a turning point, a chance to show the world what Indian music can do.”

Dressed in a stunning silk blazer by designer Anamika Khanna, King exuded charisma and confidence as she walked the red carpet.

King said, “I wanted to wear an Indian designer and bring a part of my country with me. The fabric and work of my garment gives you that proud touch of our talented handloom industry.”

The King sat in a plush seat for the evening’s main event, ‘Kinds of Kindness’.
