Deepika Padukone is on cloud nine as soon she will be representing India at Cannes Film Festival as one of the jury members. Last night, the actress was snapped at the airport as she jetted off to France for Cannes. In a viral video, the actress looks gorgeous in a beige co-ord set with embroidered sleeves. Sporting a no-makeup look, the actress tied her hair into a ponytail and completed her look with black boots. As Deepika heads inside the airport, a paparazzo can be heard saying, "You are making India proud," followed by others congratulating her. To this, the Piku actress happily replies, "Thank you".
Here have a look:
