Finland President Tarja Halonen: A Bollywood Fan

It seems that Bollywood movies have some secret admirers in different countries and Finland President Tarja Halonen is perhaps one of them. It is very interesting news.

President Halonen makes no secret of her admirationfor Bollywood movies and dance, which are catching up "very fast" among Finns. She even smilingly suggests that Bollywood movies could be shot in Finland, a picturesque land of about 1,90,000 lakes and scenic locales, where days can be as long as 18 hours during summer.

She feels that Finland, though "very small" with just 5.2 million people, could become a strategic partner of India for expanding its business and trade in Nordic countries and other countries of the European Union (EU), which now has 27 members.

Tarja Halonen is a very smart president- no doubt about it. She will try to attract Bollywood directors to come to Finland and shoot their films. This will surely increase the number of Indian tourists to Finland. I think Nokia can play an important part in it.
