Who among the following has been honoured with the “Life Time Achievement” award in the 58 th film fare festival held on 20-1-2013?

The answer is A) Late Yash Chopra. The 58th Filmfare Awards were held on 20 January 2013 in Mumbai, and the Lifetime Achievement Award was given to Yash Chopra, who had died in October 2012. The honour was received on his behalf by his family, which is why the question uses the word "Late".

The core concept is the difference between the Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award, which is an industry award given by the Filmfare magazine, and the Dadasaheb Phalke Award, which is the government's highest honour for cinema. Students often confuse the two. For Mains, Yash Chopra's career (Kabhi Kabhie, Deewaar, Silsila, and the Yash Raj Films studio) is a useful example when you write on the economics and soft power of Indian cinema.

• B) Zeenat Aman was not the recipient of this award that year. She is known as an actor and has been part of many Filmfare nominations, but this honour went to Chopra.
• C) Mahesh Bhatt was not the recipient of this award in 2013. He is a director and producer, and he is not the name linked to this honour.
• D) None of the above is wrong because option A matches the record.

Trap: Candidates often pick a living, well-known name because the award is for a lifetime, or they mix up the Filmfare award with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award. Check the year, the ceremony and the award's name before you answer.
