Question

Which of the following personalities was announced as a Padma Bhushan awardee in 2026 for contributions to the field of art?

The correct answer is

Alka Yagnik

The Padma Awards, announced each year on the eve of Republic Day, are given in three categories: Padma Vibhushan, Padma Bhushan and Padma Shri. The field of art covers areas such as music, dance, theatre, cinema and painting.

Alka Yagnik is a well-known Indian playback singer of Hindi cinema, and she was announced as a Padma Bhushan awardee in 2026 for her contribution to art (music).

V S Achuthanandan was a former Chief Minister of Kerala and K. T. Thomas is a former judge of the Supreme Court of India, so neither is associated with the field of art. Dharmendra Singh Deol is known for his long career as a film actor, but he is not the Padma Bhushan awardee for art referred to here.

Hence, Alka Yagnik.
