The on-screen character , 42, dedicated the award to her
daughter Aaradhya. "I was very passionate about making it more than a
perceived beauty pageant. For me, I all along believed that it was the
opportunity to represent an Indian woman on the international platform. I
believe that from then until today, in 2016, it continues," Aishwarya said
in a statement here. "I am glad to have been chosen to be a feature film
artist and a career woman. I have had so many opportunities, personally,
professionally, socially," she said. The 'Dhoom 2' actress will be seen
next in 'Sarbjit' alongside Randeep Hooda and Richa Chadha. Besides Aishwarya,
noted tennis player Sania Mirza was also honoured at the NRI of the Year Award
2016.
Altogether 17 individuals were given the awards under
different categories like - entrepreneur, professional, academics, arts &
culture, philanthropy, special jury award, global icon of the year and India's
global icon award. The NRI of the Year Award recognises outstanding
achievements of the Indian diaspora internationally.
