βMany will agree that best awards in the world are Peopleβs Choice Awards; so here the people of Rome and Italy have voted after filling edge-to-edge five full house shows. What we started in a little village of Goa has gone global beyond all our goals,β Nalin said in a statement. He also added,Β βAbove all itβs a great sign of inspiration that the international βjantaβ (public) is connecting to stories of celebration of Indian womanhood.β
