Producer Guneet Monga on Oscar’s win: The future is here and it is truly female

The Elephant Whisperers, directed by Kartiki Gonsalves and produced by Guneet Monga, won the Best Documentary short at the 95th Academy Awards.

Talking about receiving the award, Guneet shared, “This is an incredibly powerful and historical moment.”

Stating that the win is historical for women worldwide, she said, “We as two women from India, stood on that global stage making this historical win. I’m so proud of this film, this moment and proud of my amazing team at Sikhya Entertainment, that an independent production house from India has made the history to be the first ever Indian film by an Indian production to win an Oscar. My heart is racing with all the joy, love, excitement in the moment. I’m so grateful to Kartiki, the wonderful visionary that she is.”

“Today I can say, the future for Indian cinema is audacious, the future is here and not to forget it is truly female,” she added.

Meanwhile, although Shaunak Sen’s documentary feature All That Breathes failed to secure an award, RRR’s song ‘Naatu Naatu’ won the Best Original Song award at the Oscars.
