Waheeda Rehman was conferred with the life achievement award at the closing function of the 14th Mumbai Film Festival on October 25. The weeklong festival, during which over 200 films were screened, concluded with the screening of Pablo Berger’s Blancanieves.
Ms. Rehman, who accepted the award from director Shyam Benegal, said there comes a time in an artiste’s life when he-or-she shies away from accolades and she was doing that in the past.
However, this time she decided to accept since the honour was from her own fraternity, at an international film festival and in the 100th year of cinema. She dedicated the award to her colleagues in the film industry.
Ms. Rehman has acted in 84 films in a career spanning six decades and has been awarded the Padma Bhushan.
