Fagun Thakrar is a British-Indian actress, writer-director and activist.

Fagun was invited to the night gala ceremony and premiere at the Cannes Film Festival held at the Grand Theatre Lumière in recognition of her contribution as an actress, writer and director to the world of international cinema. She was also listed as best dressed by world-leading publications.

Fagun has appeared in a number of Hollywood movies and has starred alongside actors such as Academy Award winner Brie Larson, Martin Sheen, and Donald Sutherland. Fagun has recently become the Global Ambassador for the International Forum for Women’s Brain and Health.
