We are recognising the contributions of Dadasahed Phalke to the Indian film industry that has helped Bollywood to grow."
He further added: "We are bringing a unique fashion show to the UAE, which will reflect the partnership between the two countries — India and the UAE. This would be the first time in the world where the tourism and culture of two countries will come together through the medium of fashion."
