• B. Padma Shri Award → Mithun Chakraborty
• C. Padma Bhushan Award → M. Fathima Beevi
• D. Padma Bhushan Award → Sitaram Jindal

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The question asks which of the matches regarding the Padma Awards 2024 is incorrect. Let's analyze each option:

• Padma Vibhushan Award → Shri Konidela Chiranjeevi: This option is factual and correctly matched. Shri Konidela Chiranjeevi is indeed an esteemed actor recognized with awards previously.
• Padma Shri Award → Mithun Chakraborty: This is incorrect. Mithun Chakraborty, a renowned actor, is not listed as a Padma Shri recipient for the 2024 awards.
• Padma Bhushan Award → M. Fathima Beevi: This is correct. M. Fathima Beevi, being a notable former judge and the first woman to be appointed as a Supreme Court judge in India, aligns with past recognitions.
• Padma Bhushan Award → Sitaram Jindal: This match is accurate. Sitaram Jindal, known for his philanthropy and industrial contributions, is fitting for this award type.

Therefore, the correctly identified mismatch is: Padma Shri Award → Mithun Chakraborty.

Answer 2

The incorrect matching regarding Padma Awards-2024 is: Padma Shri Award → Mithun Chakraborty.

Additional Context:

• Mithun Chakraborty was actually awarded Padma Bhushan (not Padma Shri)
• Correct 2024 awardees mentioned:
  • Konidela Chiranjeevi - Padma Vibhushan (Arts-Cinema)
  • Justice M. Fathima Beevi - Padma Bhushan (Public Affairs, first woman SC judge)
  • Sitaram Jindal - Padma Bhushan (Trade-Industry)
• Padma Shri is given for "distinguished service" (lower than Bhushan/Vibhushan)
• Error in option (2) shows wrong award category for the recipient

Correct Answer: (2) Padma Shri Award → Mithun Chakraborty
