Shabana Azmi became a doctor for the third time. Confused? Well, the talented actress has been conferred a doctorate for the third time just a few days back.

The Jamia Milia University of Delhi, at its convocation ceremony, presented a trophy to bestow the honour on Shabana at a function in Delhi. Apart from Shabana, Naseeruddin Shah, Dr. Kapila Vatsyayan (leading scholar of Indian art, architecture and dance) and Asghar Ali Engineer (social reformer and theologian) were also conferred doctorates.

On earlier occasions, Shabana Azmi has been decorated with a similar honour by the Jadhavpur University of Calcutta and then by the Leeds University of the United Kingdom.

It may be mentioned here that Azmi is also the winner of the Martin Luther King award of the Ann Arbour University of MichiĀ­gan in the USA. This entitles her to be a visiting professor at the University.
