The ceremony, a celebration of excellence, witnessed four extraordinary individuals being honoured for their significant contributions to their respective fields. Shabana Azmi has been a trailblazer in the Indian film industry. Her portrayal of complex characters and her ability to evoke a wide range of emotions have earned her critical acclaim and a dedicated fan following.

Shabana Azmi stated, “I am very honoured to get the honourary D.Litt from Techno India University because the stature of the other recipients was so high, my attempts of being so modest that I don’t think I deserved this honour. But I do believe, now that I have got it, it also places a responsibility on me. I think art can be used as an instrument for social change and that is what I have tried to do in my own little way.”

Shankar Mahadevan, the celebrated musician, shared his excitement about sharing the stage with Azmi and other distinguished recipients. He emphasized that the honour was made even more special by the company he kept.

Looking ahead, Shabana Azmi is gearing up for the release of Bun Tikki, a film directed by Faraz Arif Ansari and produced by Jio Studios and Manish Malhotra’s Stage 5 Production. The film also stars Abhay Deol and Zeenat Aman.
