eteran actor Shabana Azmi is one of the most esteemed and outstanding actors in cinema, who has starred in different genres, showing her immense acting talent. From her debut film 'Ankur' to working on incredible projects like 'Arth', 'Khandhar', and many more, she has proved herself to be an actor par excellence.
The 'Masoom' star has recently completed 50 years in the film industry and she is "overwhelmed" with her achievements so far.
At the IIFA Awards 2024, Shabana Azmi got candid about her achievements in the film industry and talked about her journey from her debut film till date.
In a conversation with ANI, she said, "I'm overwhelmed, because when my first film, 'Ankur', was released on September 24, 1974, you would knock me down with a feather if you had told me I'd still be working 50 years later. So I'm really grateful for being at the right place at the right time and very grateful that I'm still getting meaningful work."
