Mira Nair next month will be honored with the "Pride Of India" Award in New York. The Bollywood Group will present her this award on May 26 at the Nassau Coliseum, New York and as expected Nair is thrilled!
Nair said, "The brilliant thing is that there's room for all of us - for our four-hour
Bollywood extravaganzas and for my independent work - because we come from a place whose heart is as big as the ocean.
"And to those who worry about us filmmakers becoming more international than Indian, I say this - it is because my roots are so strong that I can fly."
Kamal Dandona, chairperson of the Bollywood Group, said: "In terms of promoting and promulgating India and Indian culture globally through cinema, Mira stands in a league of her own."
