Actress Amrita Puri felicitated as a woman of substance

Actress Amrita Puri was felicitated by WIFT (Women in Film & Television Association) as a young rising talent who has portrayed versatility by taking up unconventional roles at such a young stage in her career. As a part of the celebrations on women’s month, Manubhai Jewellers together with WIFT India honors and felicitates women who have contributed to the society. Hailing from a family which has a business background, Amrita has taken a road which leads her to the media industry. “After playing unconventional roles which required me to go under complete transformation to get into the character, I feel honored and humble to have been felicitated at such an early stage of my career. The characters of Shefali in Aisha and Vidya in Kai Po Che, were similar but yet very different. The characters required me to look as simple as possible contrary to the fashion and jewellery lover that I am. For me jewellery is not about being glamorous but something which propagates elegance and at the same time is comfortable to carry. Being felicitated was completely unexpected but definitely an assurance that I am headed into the right direction. And nothing makes it more beautiful than being greeted amid pretty sets of stones”, says actress Amrita Puri. "We have always stood behind the cause for women. It is they, who we believe have made us who we are today. Jewellery and women always make a perfect match. This month we are celebrating The Women’s month in association with WIFT in an effort to honor the hard work and dedication of women in the field of film, television and other screen media. Manubhai Jewellers and WIFT have a strong connect as collectively we believe in celebrating womanhood,” quotes Samir Sagar, Director; Manubhai Jewellers. “Amrita is considered as one of the rising talents in the film and television sector and is a woman of substance known for the roles she has chosen. WIFT strives to make a difference to young women seeking an opportunity to train from the best through regular workshops and events”, says Petrina D’Rozario, Founder President; WIFT India.
