Actor Anasuya Sengupta has become the first Indian to win the Best Actress award at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival on Friday (May 24) night.

She achieved this honour for her outstanding performance in the film 'Shameless,' directed by Bulgarian filmmaker Constantin Bojanov.

The film tells the story of a s*x worker who escapes from a brothel in Delhi after stabbing a policeman, portraying a compelling journey of survival and resilience.

Anasuya dedicated the award to "the q***r community and other marginalised communities for so bravely fighting a fight they really shouldn't have to".
