Speaking to media in Madhya Pradesh's Indore on January 25, former Lok Sabha (LS) Speaker Sumitra Mahajan spoke on her Padma Bhushan award.
Mahajan said, "I am surprised over why I am being given the Padma Bhushan award.
I have always worked to the best of my ability in all the roles and maybe that is the reason." "All I can say is if your work is authentic, it pays off," she added.
