Legendary actress Rekha received the first Smita Patil Memorial Award for her immense contribution in the field of cinema.

"I am really glad that I am receiving the award in the name of Smita. I also want to say that you all did the right thing that you decided to give the first-ever Smita Patil Memorial Award to me because I think only I have the right to receive this award," said the veteran actress.

Elaborating further Rekha said, "This award signifies the excellence of her (Smita Patil's) craft, which includes her acting abilities, dancing abilities or her ability to be fearless in front of the camera or in choosing her roles or the way she could just live that moment and make a statement on-screen with her beautiful eyes without saying a single word. I am not saying this because I have won an award in her name. It is because I feel she had far more finesse and was brilliant as an actor. I realized this thing 30 years ago when I decided to watch all her films. Today, I can say that she was the far better actress than me and than anybody else."



Along with Rekha, Popular Marathi actress Amruta Subhash also received the Smita Patil Appreciation Award. She along with Rekha sang a Marathi song and entertained the audience. Prateik Babbar and legendary music composer Anandji Virji Shah were present at the award function.
