Sengupta has made history, by becoming the first Indian to win an acting award at the Cannes Film Festival.
On Friday (May 24), the actress won the Best Actress award for her performance in the movie The Shameless at the Un Certain Regard segment of the festival.
Receiving the award, a "shaking" Anasuya dedicated it to "the queer community and other marginalised communities for so bravely fighting a fight they really shouldn't have to".
Directed by Bulgarian filmmaker Constantin Bojanov, Anasuya plays the role of Renuka in the movie, who is a sex worker from southern India.
Anasuya is a production designer in Mumbai and has worked in shows like Masaba Masaba and Srijit Mukherjee's Forget Me Not in Satyajit Ray anthology.
