00:00Hi, I'm Hussain Rizvi from Khaleej Times.

00:03Nice to meet you.

00:04Lovely to have you here, Shakti Shree, here in Abu Dhabi, AIFA Utsavam.

00:09It's the first time it's being held here in Abu Dhabi, so what are your thoughts?

00:12Let's hear it.

00:13It's amazing.

00:14This is my first time attending AIFA, so I'm really, really excited and really happy to

00:17be here.

00:18And I feel like this is such a grand, larger than life celebration of Indian cinema, which

00:24I'm really, really happy and really excited about because I just love the fact that so

00:28many artists are being celebrated and their labour of love is being celebrated on such

00:32a wonderful big stage.

00:34And as it was said earlier, it's an amalgamation of many industries coming together right here

00:39on the roof of FTIH Arena.

00:42So what are you anticipating the most?

00:46What are you looking forward to the most?

00:48I feel, I don't really know what to expect or anticipate.

00:52I feel like just being here and being a part of this celebration itself feels really amazing.

00:58And I'm just cheering and rooting for all the artists.

01:02And I feel like every time art is being celebrated, it's a huge win, not just for the winners,

01:07but also for every single artist who is, you know, tiring away, chipping away at the things

01:13they believe in and, you know, making something with so much love because it's being showcased

01:18on a large stage to the whole world, pretty much.

01:22So I feel like it's just, I'm just here to celebrate the art and the artists.

01:25Of course.

01:26And as we know, there's a massive viewership or audience here in the UAE.

01:29So what do you have to say to them?

01:32Much love and a huge, huge hug.

01:36That's very sweet.

01:37Last thing, can we ask you to sing?

01:39Absolutely.

01:40Here's the mic.

02:12All right.

02:13Awesome.

02:14That was lovely.

02:15That was very soothing to hear.

02:16But thank you.

02:17Have a lovely evening.

02:18All right.

02:19You have a good one.

02:20Take care.
