Bomman and Bellie in The Elephant WhisperersDocumentary short film The Elephant Whisperers became the first film from India to win an Oscar on Monday morning. The film, directed by Kartiki Gonsalves, shows the bond between a tribal couple – Bomman and Bellie – and an orphaned elephant baby they help raise. Hours after the Oscars win, a report claimed that despite the acclaim, the couple hadn’t seen the film they were featured in. The 54-year-old reacted to the Oscars win and said, “I still do not know anything about this (Oscars). Reportedly, the couple lost their son during the making of the film, and they're yet to speak to the Elephant Whisperers director, Karthiki Gonsalves.
