Payal Ghosh responds to the criticism after receiving Bharat Ratna Dr Ambedkar award

Actor and politician Payal Ghosh on Saturday took to her Twitter handle to share the pictures of the Bharat Ratna Dr Ambedkar award bestowed on her. But the actor got trolled later on social media as it was not clear as to which category she won the award for.

Slamming the criticism, Ghosh on Monday wrote, "Before trolling me you (trolls) should’ve checked my Wikipedia, idiots.I have done some legendary movies down south and a relevant one in bollywood. After the mishap happened followed by the break-up that lead me to depression and panic attacks. Hv lost years fighting it or else would have done much more films. Lost years fighting for the truth but I have some great things lined up. So do your research and then vomit on twitter."

Ghosh revealed that she couldn't attend the ceremony on November 26 and shared the pictures of the trophy that came to her residence.

"Hard work goes a long way and I really want the youth to take it up. Moments like these really humbles me," wrote Ghosh. Recently actor Richa Chadha was also awarded Bharat Ratna Dr Ambedkar award by Maharashtra Governor for her contribution to Indian cinema.

Talking to a digital portal, Ghosh revealed that it was Dr. B. R. Ambedkar's teachings that pushed her to join the RPI. "I was influenced by BR Ambedkar's teachings because it says education is not about degrees, but it is about your outlook towards life. And it teaches you to be an independent thinker and I completely agree with him on this," Ghosh told Outlook.

Ghosh was appointed vice president of the women's wing of the party. Athawale said that the entry of Ghosh and others into the party would strengthen it.
