Bilkis has featured on TIME magazine's list of 100 'Most Influential People of 2020,' along with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana. When the anti-CAA/NRC protests were sweeping the country, Bilkis was one of the three dadis who became icons of resistance at Shaheen Bagh.
