Avika Gor, the talented actress who has made a significant mark in Indian television and cinema, is now winning hearts on an international stage. Her participation in the Namaste Vietnam Festival 2024 marks a continuation of her deep connection with Vietnam, a country where her work has found an enthusiastic audience.
Avika’s international journey has been nothing short of remarkable. Having visited Vietnam four times for various events and film festivals, she has showcased her Telugu films, including one from her own production. These films have resonated deeply with Vietnamese audiences, highlighting Avika’s ability to connect across cultures, making her a beloved figure in the region.
Reflecting on her excitement about representing Indian cinema and culture at the Namaste Vietnam Festival 2024, Avika shared, “What excites me the most is that it’s a wonderful reminder that when I, as an actor, give my all to a project, like I did with Balika, it’s amazing to see that even after 16 years, people still remember it and love it so much. It’s mentioned everywhere, even now. This is a reminder for me to stay grateful and grounded. The Vietnam Film Festival holds a special place in my heart—this is my third time attending. I’ve been part of it since the beginning, and it’s incredible to witness the response from both Indians and Vietnamese. I’m looking forward to interacting with the filmmakers. Representing Indian cinema is a proud moment for me. I feel blessed and lucky to have this opportunity, and it inspires me to keep improving.”
The Namaste Vietnam Festival is not just about cinema; it is a cultural bridge that brings India and Vietnam closer. Avika strongly believes that events like these play a crucial role in strengthening cultural ties between the two nations. “I’m seeing a lot of excitement among Vietnamese filmmakers to collaborate with Indian filmmakers, and vice versa. I truly believe this helps foster a deeper understanding of each other’s cultures, and the collaborations between the two countries are significant. The festival is doing tremendous work in promoting growth for both nations,” she explained.
As Avika prepares to make her presence felt once again at the festival, she is particularly excited about the opportunities for collaboration that it presents. “The interactions I’m most looking forward to involve exploring how I can collaborate more in this beautiful country. I’m meeting a lot of people—producers, filmmakers, and creators of ad films and events. My goal this time is to expand my reach in Vietnam.”
Avika’s ability to represent Indian entertainment on a global platform not only showcases her individual achievements but also highlights the growing influence of Indian cinema and culture worldwide. As she continues to spread the fragrance of India in Vietnam, Avika Gor remains a shining example of how art transcends borders, connecting hearts and minds across the world.
