Swara Bhasker has bagged the Hughes Artist-in-Residence Fellowship at the Centre for South Asia Studies at the American university, the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. The fellowship is awarded to artistes, writers and performers for their achievements. 

The actor tells mid-day, “I’m honoured by this recognition and grateful for the opportunity to have access to the vast scholarly resources at U-Mich, by way of the faculty, students and the libraries. I’m looking forward to some stimulating conversations and also sitting in on classes of interest here and broadening my understanding of various cultural and academic issues.”
