A film, voicing transgender issues in India and abroad, has received many awards this year. It has received awards for direction, screenplay, script, supporting actors, child actress, and many more. But Navina, a debutante, received the highest award for the film. She was unanimously decided by the jury as the best actress for this year.
While giving her the award, the President of the committee said, 'I wrote a script for this occasion especially to felicitate you, but unfortunately I lost it. Your acting in the film was so real and authentic that I thought you were a transgender yourself. So happy to see you here. Congratulations!'
There was a minute of silence in the auditorium followed by roaring applause.
Congratulations!
This year, Navina, a debutante, is receiving
The best actress award for her acting
In a film, voicing many issues of transgender
In India, abroad, and, most anywhere.
The film has received many recognitions,
For screenplay, script, direction,
Child actress, supporting actors;
But with Navina the entire jury
Of the selection committee
Was unanimous. They said in tandem,
'She is indeed a unique discovery.'
While handing her the award
The President said, 'I lost my script,
But you can count on my word,
You were so authentic and real
I thought you were one yourself!
Congratulations to have you here, now!
For your acting skills, I take a bow.
The audience, for a moment,
Was speechless, completely silent;
Then followed a thunderous applause
That, for minutes, went without a pause.
