She has had issues with Cannes Film Festival too
Azmi, who is also a social activist, had once said, "What bothers me about red carpet particularly Cannes is that it's an extremely important festival where stunning films are shown and nothing of that ever comes in papers. It's always celebrities standing with one hand on waist." Last seen in Sonam Kapoor starrer 'Neerja', Azmi is currently busy with her play 'Kaifi Aur Main'.
