Joy for The Smile Train, and Priceless Exposure, as Smile Pinki Film Earns Oscar

Coverage since the award has been intense — buoyed by the fact that another film set in India — Slumdog Millionaire — won Best Picture and a host of other awards.

Pinki was flown in to attend the event, accompanied by her father Rajendar, visiting The Smile Train’s New York headquarters on Friday.

Brian Mullaney, Co-Founder of The Smile Train, told supporters this weekend that the ceremony was the most important moment in the charity’s history.
