Has there been an Oscar award that felt like a personal win to her? She replied in the video, “India has been robbed of the Oscars many times. Many, many deserving movies I feel like has got snubbed. Whether its movies, whether its talent… But I remember being in the audience and when they announced RRR, I got emotional. Outside of being an Indian I had really nothing to do with that movie but that was a huge, huge moment. That felt very, very personal.” For the unknown, SS Rajamouli’s RRR won an Oscar in the Best Original Song category for Naatu Naatu in 2023.

The clip also had glimpses from Payal Kapadia’s All We Imagine As Light, Kiran Rao’s Laapataa Ladies, Rahi Anil Barve’s Tumbadd and Ritesh Batra’s The Lunchbox, hinting at the deserving Indian films that were snubbed at the Oscars. All of these films received critical acclaim in recent years. Talking about this year’s Academy Awards, from India, Anora was a huge winner for bagging 5 Oscars. It won for Best Picture, Best Actress for Mikey Madison, and Sean Baker won for Best Director, Best Editing and Best Original Screenplay.
