New Delhi: <\/b><\/p>\n
NDTV today honoured exceptional Indians at its biggest event of the year – NDTV Indian Of The Year. The event saw biggest faces – from top politicians, business leaders to film and sports personalities – who strengthen and inspire our society. The women of India were awarded NDTV’s ‘Indian Of The Year’ award. The honour was a nod to the year that had ‘naari shakti’ at its core, a year that saw the passage of the women’s reservation bill in Parliament.<\/p>\n
The heroes from the Silkayara tunnel rescue operation were honoured with the ‘India’s Heroes’ award. Vikrant Massey, who delivered a stellar performance in the superhit film’12th Fail’, won the ‘Actor Of The Year’, the ‘Sports Performance Of The Year’ went to Suvarna Raj, a para-athlete, and motivational speaker, and India’s Women’s cricket team. Sunny Deol, who made a grand comeback last year with his blockbuster-hit ‘Gadar 2’ a remake of his 2001 film, won the ‘Entertainer Of The Year’.<\/p>\n
The awards honour those who have thought ahead, dared to be different and redefined the meaning of ‘being a true Indian’.<\/p>\n
The event was attended by Union Ministers Smriti Irani, Hardeep Puri, Ashwini Vaishnaw, tennis star Sania Mirza, actor Sunny Deol, Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal and social media influencers Prajkta Koli and Kusha Kapila<\/p>\n
