Vidya Balan, who has been in the industry since the past 10 years, will be honoured with Raj Kapoor Special Contribution award by the Government of Maharashtra.

The felicitation ceremony will take place in Pune today. Talking about the award, Vidya said that she is humbled on being honoured and is more excited to get this honour from the state government, more so because she is a Mumbaikar. The actress also added that the name 'Raj Kapoor' is iconic and that’s why the award is very important for her.

It is said that Vidya was all set to fly to Delhi, but has cancelled her plan to attend the event in Pune.
