Los Angeles: The six-day India Splendor celebrations in Los Angeles to showcase the finest in contemporary Indian cinema, arts, fashion, and spirituality, saw some high profile guests on the red carpet on Tuesday night.

Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai (now Bachchan) were present for the screening of their film Guru along with filmmaker Mani Ratnam. The film, which is Abhishek and Aishwarya’s first onscreen hit, holds a special place for the couple.

"We were always friends and now we're married so the film is very special,” said Aishwarya.

India Splendor attempts to showcase some of the best of contemporary Hindi cinema. And Aishwarya was thrilled to be among the chosen few.

"It’s very humbling. You people credit me with too much I'm a proud Indian and blessed with opportunity,” said Aishwarya.

While Aishwarya was quite humble about representing India at this international platform Abhishek seemed more smug about it.

"It's about time the world stood up and noticed us – the largest industry, largest ticket collection,” said Abhishek.

Meanwhile all filmmaker Mani Ratnam had his thoughts on more serious matters - like changing the term Bollywood.

"If it happens I wish the name will change. People stop calling it Bollywood,” said Mani Ratnam.
