Sparsh Shrivastava's face is frozen on my screen. Thanks to the shaky Zoom connection. A few seconds later, he comes alive. His energy is undeniable, even on the chat app. For starters, he's ecstatic about Laapataa Ladies being India's official entry to Oscars 2025. A film that has not only earned rave reviews but has also set a new milestone for his career, Sparsh plays a key role in this Kiran Rao-directed film, produced by Aamir Khan. Ever since the film has been announced for the Oscars, there's been an outpouring of congratulatory messages from family, friends, and fans. “It feels really good because the love coming my way is immense,” he shares, genuinely moved by the recognition.
