In 2013, the [[Jaipur International Film Festival]] (JIFF) decided to honour Nagma with a lifetime achievement award, but issued the award to [[Sharmila Tagore]] instead. Nagma, who was 39 years old at the time, said, "I thought I was too young for the award, but they convinced me. They said I had been selected because of my contribution to Indian cinema". JIFF's director, Hanuman Chaudhary, said that the change was due to Nagma not responding to their invitation, but Nagma recounted to ''Times of India'' that she accepted their invitation officially.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Banerjee |first1=Soumyadipta |title=Nagma loses award of a lifetime to Sharmila Tagore - Times of India |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/Nagma-loses-award-of-a-lifetime-to-Sharmila-Tagore/articleshow/18234069.cms |access-date=9 January 2021 |work=The Times of India |date=29 January 2013 |language=en}}</ref>
