Waheeda Rehman will be given the 53rd Dadasaheb Phalke Award, India’s highest film honour. The timing of the award couldn’t have been more apt for the 85-year-old actress. For, the honour came on the birth centenary of Dev Anand, who she frequently worked with, on 26th September.

The prestigious award will be conferred on the veteran actress during the International Film Festival of India in Goa in November.
