“Honoured and grateful. Thank you so much, Government of India, for acknowledging my contributions, my life, my passion and my purpose – cinema and the arts, that allowed me to contribute, not only to the film industry but beyond. I thank all those who guided me through this journey of Art and Craft of Cinema – all those who held my hand through it, and all those who watched me from their place above. I owe this to my father.”
