Apart from Aishwarya, director Zoya Akhtar and 'Dhadak' star Janhvi Kapoor were also awarded at the event.

Talking about the ceremony, WIFT India founding president Petrina D’Rozaria said, “Whether it is her extraordinary body of work or her charitable endeavours, Ms. Streep is an inspiration for all.”

“Our aim here is to encourage others to think outside the norm of gender-based hiring practices and give females of all nationalities an equal chance to vie in fields dominated by men,” she elaborated.
