New Delhi, Feb 27 (ANI): After winning accolades at the Oscars, the little protagonist of Oscar winning documentary 'Smile Pinky' got a warm reception by the wife of Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh.
Gursharan Kaur hosted a reception for Pinky Sonkar and her father at her official residence on Friday to honour her Oscar win.
Perched safely in her father's arms, Pinky ducked shyly as the photographers urged her to smile for them.
Hailing from a nondescript village of Uttar Pradesh, the small wonder is being hailed as a hero by her villagers for striking gold young.
