Bollywood actress Vidya Balan, parliamentarian Priya Dutt and boxer Mary Kom were among those who were honoured with the ’Tejaswini’ award for young women achievers here.
The awards, an initiative of the Young FICCI Ladies Organisation, honours women for their achievements in various fields, from social activism to entrepreneurship.
"I am humbled and feel dwarfed standing on this stage receiving the award alongside the likes of Priya Dutt and Sunita Krishnan (activist) whose contribution is enormous in comparison to me," said the 31-year-old actress who won this year’s Filmfare Award in the Best Actress category for her role as a single mother in ’Paa’.
Dutt who joined politics after the death of her father Sunil Dutt, accepted the award saying that she followed the path of humility preached by Mother Teresa.
