At the AWFF award ceremony, she performed a Vietnamese song by Minh Vy, entitled “Vong Co Buon” (Sad vong co song), supported by two Vietnamese artists Thai San and Tran Sang. The Vietnamese-American singer was invited to announce and award the Best Movie Awards for “The Last Film Show” by Indian Director Pan Nalin. However, because of an incident at the last minute, she could not fulfill this role as planned. She apologized to director Pan Nalin.
