I always questioned why a girl like me (of Indian descent) is not there...and why our films are not celebrated at the Oscars. But this time when I saw the (Indian) representation, I felt so so so proud!"She continued, "I feel like this is just the start of many many films of our country that would be celebrated there and it definitely is a very very proud moment. And, we all are thrilled, we all are rooting and we all are celebrating both the winners (Team RRR and Elephant Whisperers)."Team 'RRR' and 'The Elephant Whisperers' both won at the 95th Annual Academy Awards this year, making it a historic moment for Indian filmmakers and the audience.A victory that felt very personal to every Indian was that of 'Naatu Naatu'!
