Smile Pinki shines at Oscars!
Another Indian story rocks the Academy Awards. Smile Pinki (the documentary about Pinki Kumari, the little girl born with a cleft lip in suburban India) has won the Best Short Documentary Award at the Oscars this year.�Her deformed lip made her the butt of jokes and ridicule for many years. Even her parents could not rescue her from the scathing eyes of the society that treated this poor child like a freak. After years of not being able to smile and not having a reason to either, her hopes grew brighter with the possibility of a surgery. And with facial surgery complete, Pinki’s smile is on, 24/7!
