MUMBAI: Karan Johar‘s recent hit My Name Is Khan (MNIK) won two awards from the Los Angeles-based Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC); one for the film and the other for the director for celebrating the spirit of the film.
The MPAC is a body that addresses the causes of Muslim especially from the Western perspective.
The Council chose to honour My Name Is Khan and a TV show Grey‘s Anatomy as both had a Muslim character in them.
The awards were handed out at the 19th Annual Voices of Courage and Conscience Media Award in Los Angeles on 1 May.
Additionally, as part of the honour, a two-hour version of MNIK specially cut for the North American audience will be screened at the prestigious art house, The Angelika, in New York.
