Panaji, Jun 14: Noted Hindi playback singer Hema Sardesai was presented the 'International Award for Women Achiever' by spiritual guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar at Bangalore.
The award, instituted by Sri Sri Ravishankar's Art of living Foundation, was given to the Goan singer earlier this week during the International Women's Conference at his Bangalore ashram.
Sardesai was selected for the award for her "outstanding contribution to music internationally."
Bhanudidi, sister of Sri Sri Ravishankar was also present at the function, attended by over 1,000 women from across the globe.
"It's an absolute honour to receive an award of this stature. What is more honouring is that the award was given by Sri Sri Ravishankar himself," Sardesai stated.
The singer said she was busy giving final touches to her new Hindi album 'Jhoom' which would be ready for release by the end of this month.
Daijiworld's Mangalore bureau adds:
Hema Sardesai was not available when contacted to be congratulated on the award. Her husband Xavier said that she was busy with recording sessions and assured to convey Daijiworld's best wishes to her.
