Guneet Monga Is Upset With The Academy For Cutting Her Speech Midway, Says “Wanted To Say It’s India’s 1st Oscar… I’ll Go Back”

Recently, the whole nation beefed up with pride after India won two awards at the 95th Academy Awards. A few days back, the prestigious award show took place, and it saw the finest performances, movies, directors and songs, among others, being bestowed with the award that they took home. SS Rajamouli’s RRR’s song Naatu Naatu song won Best Original Song followed by Guneet Monga’s documentary The Elephant Whisperers. However, later, fans expressed their disappointment as they felt that the Indian producer Guneet’s winning speech was cut.

Reportedly, netizens had taken to Twitter to slam the academy awards after they heard the orchestra playing when Monga walked up to the mic to deliver her winner’s speech. Netizens bashed the show makers as they later witnessed them Charlie Mackesy delivering a 45-second-speech.

Now Guneet Monga reacted to the same and spoke her heart out. She told Bombay Times “I did not get a chance to deliver my Oscar speech. There was a shock on my face. I just wanted to say it’s India’s first Oscar in Indian production, which is such a huge thing. My heart started racing as I couldn’t have come so far and not be heard. I’ll go back there and I will make sure I’m heard.”
