Indian filmmaker Payal Kapadia made history by winning the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival on Saturday for her film 'All We Imagine As Light'. This marks the first time an Indian movie has competed in the highest category at Cannes. The film, shot in Mumbai, explores the lives of three women. Kapadia described the win as 'beyond my imagination'. Former FTII chairman Gajendra Chauhan reacted to her win, and Congress MP Shashi Tharoor urged PM Modi to withdraw cases against Kapadia and fellow FTII students over their 2015 protest against Chauhan's appointment. The film's team also broke into a viral dance at the festival.
