Vikrant Massey To Win National Award For 12th Fail, Rani Mukerji 'Strong Contender' For Best Actress?
As per reports, Rani Mukerji is being considered for her role in Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway. Amid buzz that the National Awards will be announced soon, new reports claim that Vikrant Massey will win the Best Actor award, and that Rani Mukerji is a strong contender in the Best Actress category. While Vikrant will reportedly win for 12th Fail, Rani is being considered for Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway. Senior Journalist Subhash K Jha quoted a source as saying, 'Vikrant Massey's performance in 12th Fail is getting him the National Award. It is final." The source also mentioned, 'For the National award for Best Actress, Rani Mukerji is a very strong contender for her role in the film, Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway, and there are also two actresses from the South also in the reckoning." While these are only unconfirmed speculations, Vikrant Massey's fans are waiting with bated breath to witness their favourite actor's dream come true. Earlier this year, Vikrant Massey exclusively told News18 Showsha that he has prayed for a National Award since he was a child wanting to be an actor. Reacting to the buzz around 12th Fail's speculated National Award win, Vikrant told us, 'I hope it does. And I'm sorry, without cost of sounding pompous, and with utmost humility. I hope it does. I hope the film wins an award. I hope Vidhu Vinod Chopra wins an award. I hope I win an award. I've always aspired for one." 'I've prayed for one when I was that young kid wanting to become an actor, I always wanted a National Award because that's the greatest achievement an actor in India can have, to be presented with an award by the President of the country. And I hope it happens. So, fingers crossed," the actor added. Meanwhile, on the work front, after Aankhon Ki Gustaakiyan with Shanaya Kapoor, Vikrant Massey is all set for his next film titled White, where he plays the titular role of Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. As for Rani Mukerji, Mardaani 3 has been officially announced and is in production. The actress has also reportedly been roped in for Shah Rukh Khan's King. However, this is yet to be confirmed.

Exclusive: Aditya Roy Kapur shares his views on modern-day relationships! Says I don't think there's anything complex about them
Aditya Roy Kapur While he started his career 16 years ago with supporting roles, Aditya Roy Kapur gradually moved on to playing the leading man in intense romantic dramas. Whether he's playing a lovelorn hero in Aashiqui 2 or a brooding guy in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, the actor has often found himself at the centre of stories about complex relationships on screen. In a candid conversation with us, he shares his take on modern-day relationships and more: 'Relationships are all about communicating with each other' Despite the ever-evolving dynamics of dating, Aditya believes relationships aren't as complicated as they're made out to be. The actor, who was recently seen in Metro… In Dino, shares, 'I don't think there's anything really complex about modern day relationships. If both people are completely committed to a relationship, it should be easy. It doesn't change with time. It's all about communicating and spending time with each other. ' 'Your relationship with your friends can easily take a backseat if you don't nurture it' Talking about nurturing relationships amid the hectic lives that we lead, he says, 'It is challenging to nurture relationships in such a fast-paced environment. It becomes difficult to stay in touch as you get older and everyone gets busy. Many people get married, have children and go on to focus on their careers. When you get older you are unable to meet your friends the way you could earlier. So, your relationship with your friends can very easily take a backseat if you don't give it attention, nurture it and make it a point to stay in touch. I think it's important to check on your friends from time to time.' 'I make it a point to stay connected with my close friends' While social media connects us, he questions whether these connections are truly meaningful. He says, 'All of us now are so hyperconnected, sending each other memes, reels and random things all day. So, you think you're connected, but you actually aren't. Having actual conversations and spending time with each other keeps your relationship going. So, we can very easily get seduced into thinking that we all are really talking to each other, but that's not the case. You have to be conscious about keeping up with your friends even when you're constantly on the run. I make it a point to stay connected with my close friends.'
