Cannes debutante Sara Ali Khan made the perfect first entry in her French Riviera diary – her coffee break view and it is, of course, stunning. A picture shared by the actress on her Instagram Stories shows a hand, presumably hers, holding up a cup of coffee against a backdrop of azure blue – the Mediterranean Sea is the star of Sara's first Cannes post no complaints though we will admit to more than tiny bit of jealousy. "Cannes, French Riviera, France," reads the text on the bottom of the image.
