"After Winning 'Best Film' at SAIFF (South Asian International Film Festival) at its World Premiere in New York, I am elated that 'Hum Bhi Akele...' is the closing film at Kashish, Asia's biggest LGBTQ+ festival. The fact that the jury felt it worthy of the closing film honour from 150-plus films is what makes us happy," he added.
