2012:
Today

I
went
to
The
Park
Hotel
for
the
Prabha
Khaitan
Puraskar
organised
by
the
Calcutta
Chamber
of
Commerce
Foundation.
The
award
is
given

the
cause
of
women
and
girl

This
year's
award
was
awarded
to
Vidya
Balan
by
the
West
Bengal
Governor
Shri
M
K
Narayanan.
Vidya
became
the
youngest
recipient
of
the
Puraskar
following
in
the
footsteps
of
some
the
leading
ladies
of
India.
I
presented an Uttariya (shawl) to Vidya Balan especially designed for
the occasion by leading ethnic wear designer Sharbari Dutta. She was
also given a citation and cash award.

Vidya
Balan made a very interesting comment about her connection with
Kolkata when she said “....there is always Kolkata linked to all
the goodness in my life.... I think I must have had some link with
Kolkata in my past lives.”
Which
means Vidya believes in re-incarnation.
