During their Mumbai stay, the French President and First Lady held a special interaction with Bollywood celebrities, celebrating the bond between Indian cinema and French culture. President Macron shared several photographs from the meeting on his Instagram, describing the experience as, “Aux côtés de légendes du cinéma indien. La culture nous rassemble,” which translates to, “Alongside legends of Indian cinema. Culture unites us.”
The first photograph shows President Macron and Lady Brigitte posing with prominent figures such as Manoj Bajpayee, Anil Kapoor, Zoya Akhtar, Richa Chadha, Shabana Azmi, and musician Ricky Kej. Other images captured intimate moments of conversation between the President, the First Lady, and Bollywood stars, as well as a group photograph at the iconic Gateway of India.
