Mammootty Honored by Australian Parliament; Personalized Stamps Unveiled
Mammootty, the iconic figure of Mollywood, received a prestigious accolade from the Australian National Parliament during a special event held in Canberra. This remarkable occasion featured the unveiling of a set of personalized stamps bearing the distinguished visage of Mammootty himself.
The event was orchestrated by the Parliamentary Friends of India in the Australian Parliament, in collaboration with the Australia-India Business Council, at the grand Parliament House Hall. The inaugural stamp from this collection was ceremoniously presented to Mr. Manpreet Vohra, the Indian High Commissioner in Australia.
In a notable gesture, Dr. Andrew Charlton, a distinguished member of the Australian Parliament and Chairman of the Parliamentary Friends of India, represented the Australian President at this event. During his speech, Dr. Charlton conveyed the warm wishes of the Australian President and emphasized the significant role that Mammootty plays in representing the vibrant tapestry of Indian culture.
Dr. Charlton lauded Mammootty’s exceptional philanthropic endeavors within his community, citing them as extraordinary. He urged other luminaries to follow in Mammootty’s footsteps when it comes to giving back to society.
One commendable initiative Mammootty spearheaded is his charity mission, “Family Connect,” designed to assist the parents of Indian expatriates living in Australia. Australia’s Agriculture and Fisheries Minister also commended Mammootty for his commitment to this noble cause.
Mammootty’s recognition by the Australian Parliament is a testament to his immense contributions to both Indian culture and the welfare of people, reflecting his stature as an exemplary figure and humanitarian.
