Dehradun: Chairman of Central Board of Film Certification Prasoon Joshi met Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami
Dehradun: Famous lyricist and Chairman of Central Board of Film Certification Prasoon Joshi met Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami late in the evening on Monday. Along with filming in the state, he discussed with the Chief Minister on various topics related to cultural promotion and tourism development. Prasoon Joshi’s home town is Almora.
Prasoon Joshi spent his earliest years in the north Indian state of Uttarakhand (then part of Uttar Pradesh). His father, D.K. Joshi, was the Additional Director of the state’s Education Service. These early years all across the northern India – and spending time in places like Almora, Nainital (where his extended family and relatives still live), Tehri, Chamoli Gopeshwar, and later Rampur, Meerut and Delhi – gave Prasoon a remarkable feel for the real Indian pulse that he is now celebrated for in his screenplays, dialogues, lyrics, and advertising. His mother, Sushma Joshi, a lecturer in political science, performed for the All India Radio for over three decades. His parents are qualified classical vocalists and daily home life for the young Prasoon was marked with academic discipline, a rich vein of the artistic life and a strong sense of music and culture.
