Cannes 2025: Vir Das sarcastically shows 'deep regret' on not attending prestigious film festival and his reason will leave you in splits
Vir Das recently made a sarcastic post in which he expressed his 'regret' about not attending the Cannes Film Festival 2025 due to a hilarious reason.
The 78th Cannes Film Festival kicked off on May 13, 2025. The rule of no “n*dity” and “voluminous outfits,” especially those with a large train, at the event caught everyone’s attention. Vir Das has now taken a dig at this rule and sarcastically expressed ‘deep regret’ at not attending the prestigious event. His post explaining the reason promises to leave you in stitches.
Today, May 14, 2025, Vir Das took to Instagram and shared a post with a long note about his take on this rule at the Cannes Film Festival 2025. He wrote, “It is with deep regret that I announce I will no longer be attending the Cannes film festival because of the new red carpet rules.”
He further joked, “For multiple generations n*de voluminous gowns with large trains have been culturally specific to the comedy community. This year, I had planned a dark beige, 78-foot long, off-shoulder piece that moved finely into sleeves that covered my wrists, but dipped lower and gently showcased the heart of my scr*tum. But if I cannot wear a G*ta original, I refuse to let our culture be shunted.”
Vir added, “I was planning on taking multiple selfies of cultural significance. But someone has to take a stand. I wish the festival all the best.”
The actor-comedian captioned his post with folded hands and yarn emojis.
