Recognized at Last: Shabnam Receives Lifetime Achievement Award

I have spent more than 60 years in my acting career. When I stood at a distance from the film industry and saw artists who were junior to me receiving Lifetime Achievement Awards, I genuinely felt saddened.

I am grateful that the current government has acknowledged and honored my feelings.

I have received this recognition while I am still alive. This is a feeling that cannot truly be expressed in words. — Shabnam
