Speaking at Cannes 2023, actor-politician Khushbu Sundar praised renowned film personalities like A R Rahman, Resul Pookutty, the ‘RRR’ team for their Oscan wins
Actor-politician Khushbu Sundar reflected on India’s twin wins at the Oscars while speaking at the Cannes 2023. Khushbu walked the red carpet in saree at the film festival.
“Everybody thought the crowd won’t comeback to theatres. People had moved on to different platforms. But the Indians showed it’s possible because we dream big. We have the courage, capability and guts to do what we want,” she said. The Oscar wins of Resul Pookutty, A R Rahman, RRR (for the song Naatu Naatu), and Guneet Monga (for Elephant Whisperers) show that we Indians can make our dreams come true,” said the BJP leader, who was recently nominated a member of National Commission for Women.
Thanking the Information and Broadcasting department for giving her an opportunity to speak at Cannes, Khusbhu said “this is just the beginning and India will soon be at the top of the world under the leadership of prime minister Narendra Modi.”
“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
The High Court of Karnataka on Monday declined to interfere, at present, in the investigation against a Bharatiya Janata Party worker, who is among the accused persons facing charges of circulating obscene clips, related to “morphed” images and videos clips related to Prajwal Revanna, former Hassan MP, in public domain through pen drives and other modes.
