On winning streak! Kangana Ranaut receives the Best Actress National Award for Manikarnika and Panga

On the winning spree, Kangana Ranaut today recieved the National Award for her acting skills in the movies Manikarnika and Panga. The awards were presented at the hands of Vice President M Venkhaiah Naidu. The awards, which were originally supposed to be held in May last year, were delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

 

 

The prestigious awards have been held in the country since 1954 in which a national panel is elected by the government which selects the winning entry.

Kangana expressed her gratitude to have won the National Award. She said that she has also directed Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi and thanked the team, including KV Vijayendra Prasad, who wrote the screenplay of the film; Prasoon Joshi, who wrote its dialogues; music directors Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy; producer Kamal Jain; co-stars Ankita Lokhande and Danny Denzongpa, among others. “Everybody, thank you very much, ki aap logon ne iss film ko safal banaya (for making this film successful),” she said, adding, “Yeh puraskaar aap log mere saath share kijiye please (Please share this award with me).”

 

 

Kangana said that she has only been a part of Panga as an actor. She thanked her director, Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, and the team. She also thanked the National Awards jury, her fans, family members and her personal staff. This is Kangana’s fourth National Award. In 2008, she won Best Supporting Actress for Fashion.
