Amrita Rao coveted with the Prestigious Dadasaheb Phalke Award

Amrita Rao is the youngest and the only Bollywood actress of this generation to receive the Prestigious Dadasaheb Phalke Academy Award.

It came as a Surprise to many when Amrita Rao’s name was nominated, as this Award is Associated with Accomplished Veterans in Cinema. But the Dadasaheb Phalke Academy chose to award Amrita Rao for her Excellence in the movie Vivah at a young age. She was recognized for her talent as a performer in the field of Cinema.
