Madhuri Dixit named most inspirational female Bollywood icon

The third annual Bradford Inspirational Women Awards (BIWA) were held in Bradford in the UK. Last year, as the world celebrated 100 years of Bollywood cinema, a special category was announced at BIWA 2013 for the public to nominate their most Inspirational Female Bollywood Icon. The Bollywood Dancing Diva  Madhuri Dixit became the first actress to recieve it.

As per sources, Madhuri Dixit thanked everyone through a video message that was played at the event. She said, “Greetings everyone. I wanted to reach out and thank the Inspirational Women’s Foundation for choosing me as the most inspirational Female Bollywood Icon of all times. It’s indeed a great honour.”

Mads further added, “I’ve been a staunch advocate of women’s empowerment and I’ve worked hard throughout my career to advance the cause. It is heartening to see that gender equality is really becoming more of a reality. There is still much more to be done and I’m confident that, by working together, we can empower women worldwide. I would personally like to thank Fatima Patel, Jane Vincent and the Inspirational Women’s Foundation for making this possible. Thank you.”

We congratulate the Diva on  winning  this prestigious award.
