The

"I
believe
the
world
of
cinema,
not
only
Indian
cinema,
is
often
called
a
man's
world.
It
is
changing
but
the
change
is
slow.
So
I
believe
it
is
a
matter
of
great
pride
that
we
have
an
award
that
acknowledges
and
recognises
the
contribution
of
women
to
cinema.''

It is said that woman hold up half the sky but a woman like Smitaji showed us not even the sky is the limit."
