Cinema creates opportunities to understand one another’s traditions, aspirations and stories. It is a great honour to celebrate Her Excellency’s association with Hindi Cinema Samman, further strengthening this spirit of friendship and cooperation,” said Dr. Marwah.
He emphasised the potential for greater engagement between the two countries through film screenings, cultural programmes, educational exchanges and interaction among creative professionals.
