New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clarke honoured Bollywood stars Hrithik Roshan and Amisha Patel and filmmaker Rakesh Roshan for promoting tourism in her country.

Roshan's movie "Kaho Na Pyar Hai", which starred the two actors, was shot extensively in New Zealand.

Clarke acknowledged this in a short speech here Tuesday.

Clarke is on a five-day visit to improve business and cultural ties with India, besides promoting New Zealand as a filmmaking destination.
