I am defining a Form class which has a filefield and is not mandatory to add a file to it…but whenever i do not provide a file the form is invalid….so is there any way by which i can make it optional for user to add a file or not???

Yes, it is definitely possible, so check if you have required=False.
Quoting from documentation for django 1.4: “By default, each Field class assumes the value is required, so if you pass an empty value — either None or the empty string (“”) — then clean() will raise a ValidationError exception:” ( https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ref/forms/fields/#required )
