What Catherine said about her favourite Bollywood films
As per a video from news agency ANI, Catherine said on the red carpet, “I love the country and the people so very much. I am a big fan of Indian Cinema. My children have grown up watching Om Shanti Om on a loop! Not just once… There are so many great movies that I have been able to watch, not much as I should have but now with streaming and film being crossing so much… A movie that I love was The Lunchbox. It was one of my favourite movies and it still is one of my favourite movies of all time. It touched me, it was so well acted, so well directed. It was a story that was so fundamentally Indian but it connected to men and women all over the world. It connected to me as a woman. I watched it on an airplane twice! I asked my agent if I could meet him in person and I did and that was really special.”
Catherine’s connection with India
At the press conference, the snippet of which was shared on social media account of PIB, Catherine said: “The story I’ve never told before is that India has touched me in a very serious personal way. It was an Indian doctor who saved my life with a tracheotomy when I was 18 months old. I wonder why when I come to India, I have this feeling of coming home, this tingly feeling… and maybe it has something to do with that. The reason I’m here is because of the brilliance of an Indian doctor in the UK.”
Michael Douglas, who sat beside Catherine at the press conference, also spoke about his abiding love for India, where he has visited a couple of times. Michael, who will be awarded the Satyajit Ray Excellence in Film Lifetime Award at the festival, said that he is grateful that he was chosen for the tremendous honour and thanked the festival directors in his note.
On Monday, the veteran actor was seen with Catherine Zeta-Jones and their son Dylan Douglas at the film festival in Goa as they posed for the paparazzi. Michael looked dapper in a printed dark blue jacket and black trousers. Catherine looked stunning in a light blue one-shoulder gown which she paired with stilettos.
