"I am very happy that Chandrabose and (music director) Keeravaniji have won the Oscar for India. I am just waiting for my husband to return (to celebrate). I will welcome him with lot of flowers, He (Chandrabose) is always with books; he always reads books, writes something or the other. His passion is knowledge," she said.
