Honoring her for her contribution in Indian cinema, veteran actress Waheeda Rehman has been conferred upon the prestigious Kishore Kumar Award by the Madhya Pradesh culture minister Dr Vijaylaxmi Sadho. The award function was left in October last year on the birth anniversary of the legendary singer but since the actress couldn’t make it, she was given the award at her residence in Bandra yesterday. She also celebrated her birthday two days ago on the 3rd of February.

 

Waheeda Rehman is known for her iconic movies like Guide opposite Dev Anand, Neel Kamal, Ram Aur Shyam, Kabhi Kabhi, Prem Pujari and many more. The Kishore Kumar Award also carries a cash prize of Rs 2 Lakhs and a citation.
