Sunny Pawar Will Recieve The Rising Star Award In UK And It’s An Honour He Rightly Deserves

Remember Sunny Pawar, the star kid who won a million hearts in the movie ‘Lion’? Yes you do! He was the star of 2017 Oscars. Everyone (including Andrew Garfield, The Rock, Viola Davis, Jimmy Kimmel and of course, the internet) was gushing over this little kid. And he had no idea what magic he ended up creating in the film!

Hailing from Mumbai slums, this little kid and his proud parents would have never imagined what feat this 7-year-old will achieve in such little time.

We thought that after ‘Lion’ will be put on shelves only to be remembered as a great movie, this little kid from the slums will also be forgotten, like many others. But no so soon. Sunny is being honoured with the Rising Star Award at the 7th Annual Asian Awards on 5th May. 

Asian Awards are prestigious awards that recognise the achievements of people within the global Asian community. Shah Rukh Khan, Bruce Lee, Zyan Malik, Kunal Nayyar, Jack Ma and many more have been felicitated with this honour.

And that isn’t even the most wonderful thing, Paul Sagoo the founder of the Aisan Awards says that this is his attempt to ‘show to the world that even people from the humblest backgrounds and smallest of experience can achieve great things.’ He adds, 

Sunny is indeed the humble little hero. He shared the screen with outstanding award winning actors, Nicole Kidman, Dev Patel. But he still sparkled like a diamond in the films. Paul Sagoo also says,

“It is a travesty that other award ceremonies overlooked his performance in the film ‘Lion’ and we want to correct that.

This will be an award to remember.”

Isn’t this just amazing! Sunny, you deserve this and so much more. You make us proud!
