Shri Bhagat Singh Koshyari praised Garhwal Post and its Editor, Satish Sharma. He said that Satish Sharma has been running an English newspaper in Dehradun regularly with consistently good content, which was a major challenge but he had achieved it. He also praised the fact that, despite starting as a small-time publisher, Sharma had dreamt big and had now even made a name for himself in Bollywood.

Internationally acclaimed actor Kabir Bedi, too, praised Garhwal Post and noted that in the present day it is a major challenge to maintain and regularly publish a daily newspaper. Garhwal Post had been able to do that for the past 25 years. Bedi was honoured with the Garhwal Post Lifetime Award.

Ramesh Sippy said that whenever he had to speak on any public platform, people always reminded him of ‘Sholay’ dialogues. He claimed that he did not have a large body of films behind him as he had directed around 10 films, serials like ‘Buniyaad’ and some OTT films and series. He was particularly happy to receive the award from the hands of Governor Koshyari.

Film Director Vishal Bharadwaj said he was attracted to Uttarakhand through the late actor Tom Alter. He now has a house in Mussoorie and would like to live there more than in Mumbai.

Manisha Koirala also addressed the gathering and thanked Garhwal Post for the award. Singer and Vishal Bharadwaj’s wife, Rekha Bharadwaj, also sang two numbers on this occasion. One was the Gandhi Bhajan Allah Tero Naam… and the other one was her very popular number, ‘Sasural Genda Phool’.

The need to have something that touches our hearts and soul and gives us respite, the need to have words, expressions and more that instil hope and inspire. We have immense talent in India, and under the aegis of the Delphic Movement, I hope to be able to bring this talent to the forefront for the whole world as we did in the case of Yoga.” She thanked the Indian Delphic Council for honouring her as the National Delphic Ambassador for Classical Performing Arts.
