It was a big day for Indian cinema on Sunday night (Monday morning in India) at the 95th Academy Awards.

He congratulated the winners and praised them for their hard work and achievement.
Lilly also expressed her views on breaking the glass ceiling by South Asians. He shared, “Make sure that this progress continues with a forward momentum. Hopefully next year, we can see even more South Asian representation on that stage in terms of presenters, nominees, winners and dancers (the Naatu Naatu performance was epic but I wish some bomb South Asian dancers got to be a part of it) get a chance).
Lily also shared several pictures where she is seen posing with Ram Charan, Malala Yousafzai, The Elephant Whispers producer Guneet Monga, Natu Natu lyricist Chandrabose, Vanessa Hudgens, Stephanie Hsu, Ashley Graham and many more. She looked beautiful as she wore a pink pant-suit set and styled it with dewy makeup, accessories and more.
Soon after the actress shared the post, a user wrote, “Appreciate you fighting for our representation.” “South Asian dancers are a must. I love desi representation,” commented another user. “Desi take over! This is just a start.”
