Speaking to mid-day in an earlier interview, the British model-actress said she is both nervous and excited about her debut at the fest.

"I will be attending a luncheon hosted by the British Film Institute where I will speak on my journey in Bollywood. Later, I will attend a dinner called The Annual Positive Planet Gala which is a separate event to raise funds for Syrian refugees," she said.

When quizzed on what she plans to wear to the events, she said: "I am going to be taking some risks on the red carpet and not playing it safe since this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I am so excited to be a part of it. My stylist and I will be trying out about 25-30 dresses soon, so it will be like a mini fashion show in my living room."

Does she plan to take cues from her Bollywood seniors who have walked the red carpet earlier? "Definitely. Aishwarya was my icon when I was growing up. I have followed her journey since she won a beauty pageant (in 1994) to this day. She is an inspiration and a poster girl for Bollywood abroad," added Amy.
