Filmmakers and actors from the Hindi movie industry Friday came forward to congratulate India's Kailash Satyarthi and Pakistan's Malala Yousafzai for winning the Nobel Peace Prize, and rooted for peace between the two countries.
 
Satyarthi is a child rights activist, while Pakistani teenager Yousufzai is known for standing up to the Taliban and surviving a near-fatal shooting.
