The past awardees include Anna Hazare, Pratibha Patil, Pandit Jasraj and Mahashweta Devi. Rani is the first ever film personality to be felicitated with this prestigious award. Rani is being honoured not just for her incredible work in cinema but also for the kind of work she has been doing to create awareness about child trafficking. It’s been a natural extension of her character in Pradeep Sarkar’s hit Mardaani, where Senior Inspector (crime branch) Shivani Shivaji Roy tracked down child trafficking cells and protected the girl child like no other.
