Already revered in the Indian film industry for her versatility, she's now made her mark on the international fashion scene.
Wearing Indian couture with pride, Advani has revolutionized what it means to walk the Met steps, not merely as a celebrity, but as a woman owning her power, identity, and future.
She also attended the Cannes Film Festival last year.
