Indian actor Anasuya Sengupta made history by winning the Best Actress award at the 77th Cannes Film Festival for her outstanding performance in "The Shameless". She dedicated the award to the queer community and marginalized groups worldwide. In her powerful acceptance speech, she emphasized the need for more female representation and diverse perspectives in cinema, saying "more female gaze is the way forward, and the browner, the better". Sengupta's remarkable portrayal of Renuka in the film, which tells the story of a woman's escape from a Delhi brothel, earned her the top acting honor. This win highlights India's growing influence in global cinema.
