"I was very touched to see that people were wishing me and they were very excited about the award that I am due to get on May 29 at the New York film festival," the 58-year-old said here.
"I was happy to see that everyone gets happy when someone makes the country proud on an international platform," he said on the sidelines of a diamond store launch Wednesday.
Gulshan further said: "It's a great thing because Indian associations abroad are always honouring Indian stars. But this time Hollywood is honouring an Indian with one of it's awards, which is a great thing."
Gulshan was among the initial actors from Bollywood to make a transition to Hollywood. He featured in director Salim Khassa's "Desperate Endeavors".
In Bollywood, he was recently seen in "Yaariyan".
