Kriti Sanon on her National Award win

Kriti Sanon revealed that she was in a meeting and was completely unaware of her National Award win. About the winning moment, she told IANS, "I couldn’t understand what was going on. I usually don't step outside the meetings to take calls but this time I had to, and that's when I really got to know the news. I was so elated and emotional that I had to pause the meeting and run down to give my parents a hug and tell them the news and then everybody was really emotional. It’s a moment that I will never ever forget in my life."

She further said that there are very few movies and roles that come in an artist's life that give them so much to do and touch them so deeply. Apart from Kriti, Pankaj Tripathi was also awarded the Best Supporting actor honour for his role in Mimi.
