Legendary Nutan Honored at 70th Filmfare Awards 2025 in Ahmedabad

The 70th Filmfare Awards 2025, held on October 11 in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, paid tribute to the legendary actress Nutan. Nutan holds the record of winning the Filmfare Award 6 times - 5 times in the Best Actor In A Leading Role (Female) category and once in the Best Actor In A Supporting Role (Female) category.

Nutan's actor-son Mohnish Bahl and actress-granddaughter Pranutan Bahl were present at the event to honor her remarkable career. In an exclusive interview, Pranutan spoke about the significance of this tribute and the lasting impact of her grandmother's work. She expressed a deep sense of responsibility to carry forward Nutan's legacy with the same grace and dignity.

Pranutan revealed that she grew up hearing stories about Nutan from her grandfather and was drawn to her films from a young age. She was particularly moved by Nutan's performance in the 1963 classic 'Bandini', which inspired Pranutan's own decision to become an actor. Pranutan also noted that Nutan's filmography was remarkably progressive for the time, with her continuing to work even during her pregnancy.
