The actress will receive the coveted 'Karmaveer Puraskar' award on the 26th of November in New Delhi. The 'Karmaveer Puraskar' is a national award for Social Justice & Citizen Action commissioned to recognize individuals who have been pivotal for leading change. The awards are given to individuals from various sectors for their contribution to promote social justice and action.
