The 59-year-old actor remarked, “They know my obsession with cinema takes me away from them but they all bear it with a smile and allow me the time. So thank you very much for that. A National Award is not just about achievement. It’s a reminder that what I do matters. It tells me to keep going, keep working hard, keep creating and keep serving cinema. In a world full of noise to be heard, truly heard is a blessing.”
The 71st National Film Awards ceremony, held in Delhi, was organized by the National Film Development Corporation of India (NFDC).
Turning to Sonali Kulkarni, she is currently engaged in promoting her upcoming project “Hello Knock Knock Kaun Hai,” which also stars Barkha Bisht. Talking about the movie, she shared, “I feel especially proud because this film is coming under Dayanand Shetty’s banner. Knock Knock Kaun Hai is ready to release and reach the audience, and that makes me very happy. I believe that when a suspense story is strong, the audience automatically enjoys it. This film has mystery, and it builds further intrigue as the story unfolds. People will definitely enjoy watching it.”
