Indian production designer-turned actor Anasuya Sengupta won the best actress award at the Cannes Film Festival's Un Certain Regard section for her role in the film 'The Shameless.' Her journey from a noted production designer to receiving praises for her acting was unexpected but rewarding, with Sengupta's portrayal of protagonist Renuka earning acclaim for its unique depiction of queer Indian femininity. The experience was described as 'magical,' leading to a hero's welcome upon her return to India and even being featured on a prominent Amul billboard in Mumbai.
