This isnât the first time a desi star has adopted an American accent on an international stage. During the Oscar season, actors from âRRRâ like Jr NTR and Ram Charan faced similar criticism. Many defended them, arguing that such accents can be necessary for being taken seriously by a global audience.
At Cannes 2024, Preity Zinta dazzled in a sequined pink saree with a matching blouse and large earrings, leaving her hair loose.
In a clip shared by Brut India, she describes her look as âsimple yet with a little bit of sparkleâ and expressed her excitement about returning to the festival.
However, the reactions were mixed.

One user commented,
âI am perplexed as to why Indians modify their accents when in foreign lands. It comes across as disingenuous. Why canât they retain their genuine selves?â
Another user remarked,
âHer accent got me. They sound absolutely ridiculous when they change their accent to one that is some bizarre cosmopolitan made-up one.â
A fan added, â
Whatever happened to her accent? Thatâs how colonization works.â
Despite the criticism, many fans came to her defense, appreciating her style and presence at the festival.
