Recently, the 70th National Award was announced on Friday. This time Neena Gupta was selected as the Best Supporting Actress for the film Unchai, on which Neena has given her reaction.
She said she could not believe the news, so she asked again to be sure
In an interview, Neena told – I have received this news some time ago. I was surprised to know about this. Then I stopped for a while and asked the manager to cross check this news again, so that I can be sure.
After that I became very happy and emotional with this news. I am very curious about this. I was also very happy to know about the other winners.
Neena further says – Neeta further said – I would like to dedicate this award to myself because I have worked very hard. This is the result of my hard work. It shows my journey and how far I have come. At some point results come and this award is proof of that. This honour shows that my hard work has been noticed. I believe if you keep doing it, you will get the reward at some point.
The last time I received two National Film Awards was in the 90s for my documentary. Now after almost 30 years I have received the award again, which is a big thing for me.
