Actress Shahana Goswami attended the premiere of her film ‘Santosh' which was screened at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival. The film is directed by British-Indian filmmaker Sandhya Suri and was screened at the Un Certain Regard section at the French Riviera. 'Santosh' stars Shahana in the lead role and follows the story of a newly widowed woman who inherits her husband's job as a police constable in rural northern India.

For the premiere, Shahana wore a dramatic, piece de resistance, magnificently hand-embroidered Swarovski crystal blouse from designer duo Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla's brand new The Raj collection paired with a frothy peche champagne chamoise satin stylised draped saree.

She let her hair down into a sleek updo behind the ears with a side parting and went for a dewy makeup look.

Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla are absolutely delighted to dress the actor. They have created The Heavenly Hipster-As Haute as it Gets in her honour. It is an exceptional, highly stylised saree, that is steeped in nostalgia as well as firmly rooted in the here and now.

The duo asserts that the saree is the ultimate symbol of sass, sensuality, and daring sophistication.

The Heavenly Hipster is for the woman who knows her mind and lives her fantasy as dictated by her soul. Shahana epitomizes the soul and spirit of the concept. Perfectly at home in the most rarefied surroundings, she owns the room without losing a shred of her spirited Individuality or delicious whimsy.

She is like a magnum of peach crystal champagne came to life. Deliciously effervescent, she embodies the heady jubilation of the champagne age. That joie de vivre is captured for eternity in the extravagant glamour and volume of the drape. She is both ingenue and mistress of the universe. Flirtatious, Feminine, Fabulous.

Shahana Goswami, best known for her roles in films such as 'Rock On!', 'Midnight's Children' and 'Tu Hai Mera Sunday', was most recently seen in the film 'Zwigato' and the web series 'Hush-Hush', as well as the murder-mystery film 'Neeyat'. She earlier told IANS, "I have actively chosen roles that challenge conventional narratives, opting for characters that break away from cliches. I want to represent real women who one can relate to."
