Actress Nyrraa M Banerji Shares her joy on receiving an honour for her contribution during pandemic

Nyrraa M Banerji was recently honoured with an award for her selfless contribution during the pandemic - Jyothi Venkatesh

Speaking about it Nyrraa says,”I got the Mumbai Hulchal achievers award for my contribution during the Covid19 pandemic.

I donated a lot of stuff, did a campaign for supporting police and also made a short film on domestic violence.

I also continued to share spiritual and positive quotes through my social media handles.

I also kept entertaining the public with my renditions during lockdown. This award is a result of all of this effort.

It’s always a nice humble feeling when you are being rewarded for your contribution to the society and this time it was special as I have received this from the governor of Maharashtra Shri Bhagat Singh Koshyari. It was a special day of my life and will always be embedded in my memory.”

She adds, "Awards are nothing but a form of appreciation. It makes me happy and I get encouragement.” So what’s important to you?

“For me, appreciation of my creativity comes first. Also, the name comes first to me. When there is a name there is fame.

And then awards and money follow if you are lucky. An actor’s life is not easy. One is working continuously with make-up and without having proper rest.

Sometimes you need to look good and fit in front of the camera even when you are not feeling well.

I also want to thank my mother for her unconditional and constant support towards me.

I also want to thank all the production houses for giving me the nicest roles which I have portrayed in front of the camera and then I am grateful to my fans for making it a hit.”
