“Miss India America” had its world premiere at the recently concluded Cinequest film festival in Silicon Valley. This humorous film examines the notion of ambition and the lengths to which we go to achieve our dreams. The film and the cast members got standing ovation from the audience.

We spoke with Meera Simhan and Ravi Kapoor, the husband and wife team, who made “Miss India America.” We spoke about the film and had to ask a couple of  mandatory Bollywood questions. This is Kapoor’s directorial debut film. Kapoor and Simhan are that rare combination of of actor/producer/writer rolled into one.
