On the auspicious occasion of Chokku Daan in this Durga Puja, Lakmé partnered with Karukrit Advertising and Ahirtola Sarbojanin Durgatsab. The Chief Guest, Prosenjit Chatterjee and the Lakmé brand team, bestowed awards to five female visionaries for their exemplary work in their respective fields.

In this first of its kind Chokkhu Daan ceremony, Lakmé Eyeconic Kajal was used to draw and highlight Maa Durga’s eyes.

The word Chokkhu Daan literally means giving eyes or vision which can be translated into guiding someone towards the right path. Lakmé acknowledged five women leaders and awarded them. Urmimala Basu, noted theatre personality, Mamata Shankar, well-known actress, Bratati Bandyopadhyay, prominent Bengali elocutionist, Jayati Chakraborty, established Kolkata- based singer and Subhasree Ganguly, leading contemporary actress were among the awardees.

This Puja is even more special for Prosenjit Chatterjee because his film Kishore Kumar Junior is also eyeing for release along with five other big budget films.
