In a conversation with ANI during the event, Kapoor remarked, "Indian films and fashion are having a very big moment. The entire world is talking about Indian films. Laapataa Ladies going out for the Oscars. People are watching films in our language which is great as we are also being true to our culture and heritage. I think they love the song and dance...They love the colour. They love to watch all of that. So that's why I think everybody gets hooked on it.
