Ohio senate praises Vivek Agnihotri’s ‘The Kashmir Files’ – Times of India

The Ohio State Senate has recognised and honoured Vivek Agnihotri‘s film ‘The Kashmir Files’. The citation presented to the filmmaker read, “The writer and director of The Kashmir Files, you are deserving of high praise for you have a special gift that has, no doubt, brought joy to those with whom you have shared your talents.

The note was jointly signed by Senator Matt Huffman, president of the Ohio Senate and State Senator Niraj Atani. Expressing gratitude, Vivek wrote, “GRATITUDE:On behalf of the entire #TheKashmirFiles team and our audiences I thank State Of Ohio Senate for this honour.

Recently, Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri and his wife, actress Pallavi Joshi, made an announcement about making a genocide museum. The filmmaker shared, “I Am Buddha Foundation which is run by me and Pallavi Joshi will be giving 5 scholarships of 15 lacs to 5 students of Makhanlal Chaturvedi National University of Journalism and communication, Bhopal.
