Bollywood actress Sushmita Sen was honoured at the International Iconic Awards 2024 for her captivating performance in the Disney+ Hotstar series "Aarya."
Sushmita, who portrays a powerful mafia queen in the crime thriller, received both the Popular Actress of India Globally Award and the Best Actress Award.
Taking to social media, the actress expressed her gratitude: ""Thank you @internationaliconicaward for both honours!! Deeply cherished," she wrote, acknowledging the founder and CEO of the award committee. She also extended her thanks to the cast and crew of "Aarya" as well as her fans for enabling her to do her work, according to The Telegraph.
"I wanted to take this opportunity to thank the International Iconic Awards 2024 for honouring me with two beautiful awards. It is entirely my fault that I could not come to receive them in person for personal reasons," mentioned Sushmita.
Detailing the awards, she added, "I have won The International Iconic Most Popular Actress of India Globally 2024, and I also received another award for Aarya – Most Iconic Best Actress of India OTT Web Series 2024."
Sen's powerful performance in "Aarya" has garnered significant acclaim, particularly for the recently released third season. The show, split into two parts (released on November 3rd, 2023 and February 9th, 2024), sees Sushmita share the screen with Chandrachur Singh.
"It is because of them (cast and crew) that I get to do what I do, and to my fans who have loved me for over three decades and keep getting me these awards. Here’s to many more. I love you all," the actress concluded.
This recognition adds to the growing appreciation for Sushmita's talent and her enduring presence in the Indian entertainment industry for over three decades.
