Actress Kirti Kulhari is happy that veteran BJP leader L.K Advani and his daughter appreciated her work in Madhur Bhandarkar's "Indu Sarkar".

They praised her for her portrayal of Indu and how she handled a complex character and story so aptly.

Kirti said in a statement: "As an actor, it's always special to have your work being appreciated. Advani ji who witnessed the times of Emergency said he liked my work and it means a lot to me. I hope to continue doing the kind of work that can strike a chord with the audience."

"Indu Sarkar", which released on July 28, is set against the backdrop of the 1975-77 Emergency.

It has characters inspired by the late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and her son Sanjay Gandhi, leading various Congress leaders, including Sanjay Nirupam to slam it.
