It’s truly magical to know and to get introduced to so much important work that’s happening across all languages…”
Addressing the Thalaivii snub, Kangana added, “All of you who are disappointed that my film Thalaivii didn’t win any… Please know I am eternally grateful for whatever Krishna give and didn’t give me and all of you who really love and appreciate me much appreciate my perspective as well… Art is subjective and I truly believe that jury did their best…. I wish everyone the best Hare Krishna.”
