Earlier, a statement by the publicist of the 55-year-old actress, who conveyed her displeasure to the government, clarified that being honoured with Lifetime Award did not mean that Rekha's acting career is over. "She continues to work in films and do challenging roles," it said.

The award comprises Rs 2 lakh, citation and a memento.

The cultural affairs department has also decided to falicitate recipients of the Padma awards this year who belong to the film industry including singers Udit Narayan, Kumar Sanu and Shamshad Begum apart from noted music director Pandit Hridaynath Mangeshkar.

There are also plans to falicitate the stars of the Oscar-winning film Slumdog Millionaire and double Oscar winner music director A R Rahman has also been invited, an official of the cultural department said.
