Anasuya Sengupta, one of the lead stars of Bulgarian director Konstantin Bojanov’s Hindi-language movie The Shameless<\/i>, has created history by bagging the Best Actress award in the Un Certain Regard category at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival.<\/p>\n

Sengupta, who hails from Kolkata, is the first Indian artiste to win the category’s top acting honour, marking a significant milestone for India at the prestigious film gala. The festival will conclude on Saturday.<\/p>\n

In her acceptance speech on Friday night, Sengupta dedicated the award to \u201cto the queer community and other marginalised communities” for bravely fighting for their rights all around the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t have to be queer to fight for equality, you don\u2019t have to be colonised to know that colonising is pathetic \u2014 we just need to be very, very decent human beings,” the actor said.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Shameless<\/i>, which had its premiere at Cannes on May 17, forays into a dark, disturbing world of exploitation and misery in which two sex workers, one who bears the scars of her line of work, the other a young girl days away from ritual initiation, forge a bond and seek to throw off their shackles.\u00a0Sengupta plays the central character of Renuka, who escapes from a Delhi brothel after stabbing a policeman to death and takes refuge in a community of sex workers in northern India, where she meets Devika (Omara), a young girl condemned to a life of prostitution.<\/p>\n

The Shameless <\/i>also stars Mita Vashisht, Tanmay Dhanania, Rohit Kokate and Auroshikha Dey in key roles.<\/p>\n

British-Indian filmmaker Sandhya Suri’s Santosh<\/i> was also part of the Un Certain Regard but didn’t win any award.<\/p>\n

The Un Certain Regard, which runs parallel to the festival’s main competition, aims to highlight new trends, new paths and new countries of cinema.<\/p>\n

The top prize of the segment went to Black Dog<\/i> by Chinese filmmaker Gou Zhen, while French director Boris Lojkine’s “L\u2019Histoire de Souleymane” bagged the Jury Prize.<\/p>\n
