London Indian Film Festival is organised in London where these Indian Actors won awards. When you say Indian films, people assume it's just Bollywood and that's untrue. LIFF help us in making the right noise back home, so these films stand a chance against the mainstream expensive spectacle films.

Irrfan Khan was announced as the winner of a special Icon Award at the closing ceremony of the London Indian Film Festival (LIFF).

Irrfan Khan was not physically present at the award ceremony. He is undergoing medical treatment in London. He accepted the award privately after two of his films were screened at the festival this year Mostafa Sarwar Farooki's "Doob: No Bed of Roses" and Anup Singh's "Song of Scorpions".

Actor Manoj Bajpayee who attended this year's festival with his films "Gali Guliyan" and "Love Sonia" also won best Icon Award.

While receiving the award Manoj Bajpayee said that an actor is always in the making, it's a process that one follows, and getting this honour at the festival is remarkable These, I feel, are films that often do complete justice to the medium of cinema, where creativity is at its peak.

The Outstanding Achievement Award went to Richa Chadha, who starred in this year's opening night world premiere of Tabrez Noorani's crossover "Love Sonia". Satyajit Ray Short Film Award worth GBP 1,000 went to the Indo-German co-production "The Peanut Seller".

The director of LIFF Cary Rajinder Sawhney said, "We are delighted that in spite of a UK heatwave and the football World Cup, the festival attracted so many film fans this year, both Indian and non-Indian, to our wonderful film theatres.
