Commenting on this honor and proud that Madhur has made to the nation, Madhur Says- 'I am extremely honored with this award to my name and I am glad that I am getting a chance to represent my nation once again. Already I have been honored here with the screening of my film FASHION at recently concluded Moscow International Film Festival where my film was given a standing ovation. Also my film CHANDNI BAR was given accolades in the same festivals years back. I feel really lucky enough and blessed that I am getting another chance to represent my nation at such an honor and this has really lured my heart. I thank all the audience there in India, all my supporters, the team of all my films that I have been awarded for and of course the Ministry of Culture of Russia.'
