Meerut: <\/p>\n
A Meerut-based photojournalist has been nominated for Dadasaheb Phalke Film Foundation Award. Gyan Dixit, 74, a graduate from JJ School of Arts began his career as a photographer in 1975 in Mumbai itself and shot almost all cine stars of those times.<\/p>\n
He worked for magazines like Kadambari and Mayapuri apart from others. He will receive this award on April 29 in Mumbai.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has been more than four decades in this profession, but I never thought that I will be considered for this prestigious award,\u201d said an emotional Dixit, a recipient of a large number of awards including from the agencies like UNICEF. \u201cWhen I am not clicking actors, then natural surroundings and scenery is something that keeps me busy.\u201d<\/p>\n
A resident of a rural area of Kaseru Buxar village, on the outskirts of Meerut, Dixit got the letter on Tuesday and his entire household jumped with joy. A father of two daughters, Dixit feels it\u2019s the biggest gift of all times. \u201cI had been associated with various film personalities including Prakash Mehra.\u201d<\/p>\n
