"To think that my career started nearly 20 years ago is surreal. I am honoured and proud to be recognized tonight at the Marrakech Film Festival. Thank you, truly, to everyone who came out to Jemaa el Fna square. #Gratitude," she wrote.

Along with the emotional post, she posted several pictures in which she can be seen holding the trophy.

For the special gala, she chose to wear an ivory sari.
