In Hansal's post, a picture captured the moment when Tanna accepted her award, radiating elegance in a black sari. Sharing her happiness, the 39-year-old actor also posted photos of herself holding the award along with a heartfelt message of gratitude.
Take a look at Tanna's post.
Scoop is based on Jigna Vora's book titled Behind Bars in Byculla. The series revolves around the life of the fearless crime reporter Jagruti Vora, portrayed by Tanna. The story unfolds after one of her fellow journalists was brutally murdered by the Chhota Rajan gang in 2011. Jagruti's pursuit of the truth ultimately leads to her arrest and false accusations. Scoop premiered on Netflix in June, captivating audiences with its gripping narrative.
SheThePeople review of the series read, "Vora's story precisely shows the struggle of female journalists and what they go through in daily life. There were times when police officers made advances towards Vora, it is unimaginable how it might be for other journalists. The series consciously addresses men sabotaging women's progress, getting jealous, and discrediting a woman's hard work. The series is not very glamorous, it has canvased life the way it was structured in the book. The story is authentic, the emotions are real and have feministic depth. Jagruti emerges as an unapologetic mother, who says sorry to her son for not spending time with him but refuses to feel guilty. She is a mother who thinks for herself too, that's the example we women want to set up. She cannot escape prejudices in jail either, struggling to prove her innocence, she is taunted as a 'gangster's mistress'."
