TINSELTOWN TV FOUNDER & CEO SHEERAZ HASAN AND ACTRESS SHARON STONE TO RECEIVE OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS AT THE 2004 BOLLYWOOD AWARDS

Sheeraz Hasan, Founder and CEO of Tinseltown TV, has been selected as the winner of the prestigious “American Dream” award by the Bollywood Awards Committee.

The Bollywood Awards of 2004, like the Oscar Awards, will be the sixth gala event of international stature honoring the outstanding achievements of Indian movie stars, and fashion designers. With a live audience of 6000 and a global viewership in excess of 250 million people, the Bollywood Group has established indelible impressions in both the East Indian market and the mainstream Hollywood industry. The award show is to be held Saturday May 1st 2004 at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City , NJ .

Sheeraz Hasan is being recognized internationally for achieving the “American Dream.” Coming to the United States without money, connections, or experience, Hasan founded “Tinseltown TV” in January of 2002. Based in Hollywood, CA, the 30-minute show features Hollywood news updates, clips from upcoming feature films, action from exclusive premieres and award ceremonies and insightful interviews with today’s hottest celebrities, as well as Tinseltown TV's Exclusive segment "The Spiritual Side of Hollywood". After two short years, Hasan was featured in Fortune Magazine as the film industry's ambassador to South Asia for building the bridge between Hollywood and Bollywood.

The Bollywood Group has had a long tradition of honoring Americans at their events for outstanding accomplishments in various fields, such as special awards given to Michael Jackson, Richard Gere, Sir Andrew Lloyd Weber, Tyra Banks, Jerry Hall and Diane Von Furstenberg.

This year the Bollywood awards are also honoring Sharon Stone. Miss Stone’s name has been in the lime light of the entertainment world for many years and will now become a part of Bollywood glamour when she steps up to the podium to receive the “Woman of Conscience Award”. Miss Stone’s steadfast support for many charitable and philanthropic organizations like “Amfar” and in particular the” The Bridge Fund” further prompted this honor for her dedication.
