Bellie, in an earlier interaction with Indian Express, had expressed her happiness that The Elephant Whisperers had won the Oscar. She also noted that a crew member had informed her that they are going to document the lives of the elephant calves and they got all requisite permission from the government. She said, “Now, that it (documentary) has won an award; it is a proud moment for the Forest Department, the Mudhumalai camp, and for us as well.”

The Elephant Whisperers is streaming on Netflix.
