About Rani's 1st ever National Film Award
Rani won the Best Actress award for her role in Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway, where she played a mother fighting to bring her children back home.
Her role in Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway is based on the real-life case of Sagarika Chakraborty, whose children were taken by the Norwegian government in 2011.
What Rani said after winning the award
After bagging the honour, Rani called it a big moment in her long journey in cinema. "I'm overwhelmed to have won the National Award for my performance in Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway. Incidentally, this is the first-ever National Award in my 30-year career. As an actor, I have been fortunate to have some incredible films in my body of work and have received so much love for them," she said in her statement.
Rani also added that for her, this award means more than just recognition for a single film and shared that the honour is very "emotional and personal" for her, as the film's message is close to her heart.
"I dedicate my National Award to all the incredible mothers of this world. There is nothing like a mother's love and her ferocity to protect her own. The story of this Indian immigrant mother, who went all out for her child and took on a nation, shook me deeply... a mother's love for her child is unconditional," she also said.

My first ever award as a filmmaker is a National Award: Krishnadev Yagnik
Krishnadev Yagnik 10 saal se films bana raha hoon . Forget any major awards, I haven't even won any small awards till date. And now, my first award is a National Award ! I am on cloud nine,' says filmmaker Krishnadev Yagnik , whose film Vash won the National Award for the Best Gujarati Film. He adds, 'I am in Mumbai currently, so I couldn't celebrate the moment with the team in Ahmedabad. I never expected to win a National Award, so it's an amazing feeling.' Talking about what worked for the film, he says, 'I am grateful to the studio that remade the film in Hindi (Shaitaan), as it gave the film an identity nationally. While making the film, the idea was to ensure a thrilling experience for the audience. I believe that for a film to work at the box office, you have to either make the audience laugh, cry or just stun them-play with their heartbeats. This win will act as a huge motivation and I will try to make sure that I always live up to the audience's expectations. '

Overjoyed, hat-trick ho gayi: Manish Saini on winning third National Award
Manish Saini; (below) With Sanjay Mishra I am feeling overjoyed, hat-trick ho gayi!' says Manish Saini, who won his third National Award on Friday, as his Hindi short film Giddh (The Scavenger) won in the Best Short Film (Up to 30 Min) category. Manish, who has won the prestigious award earlier for Dhh (2018) and Gandhi & Company (2022), says, 'My friends are pulling my leg, saying, 'Now, buy an almirah for your awards.' When Giddh won a prestigious award in Japan (it won the Asia International Competition at the renowned Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia 2023) and qualified for the Oscars, we were very proud and felt that the film deserves some recognition in India too. So, this award feels special. It's a great moment for Gujarat too, as Vash won two well-deserved awards (Best Gujarati Film and Best Actress in a Supporting Role). I spoke to Krishnadev Yagnik and congratulated him.' 'The competition is very tough when it comes to short films' Talking about the significance of the win, he shares, 'The competition is very tough, as you have to compete with several good short films from all over the country. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo While there are several film festivals for feature films, there are very few festivals in India for showcasing short films. So, it's a huge recognition and I am already in talks with a few OTT platforms for Giddh.' 'Such recognition gives you renewed energy' Manish says, 'Such recognition gives you renewed energy.' He elaborates, 'There are times when you may reach a saturation point. But when you win a National Award, it motivates you to keep doing what you are good at. It also makes you feel that you are on the right track. I have never followed trends and after this win, I feel more confident. Mujhe jo achha lagta hai, main wohi banaunga. The audience now wants fresh, original and honest films, formula doesn't work anymore.' 'Working with Sanjay Mishra was an unforgettable experience' Talking about working with Sanjay Mishra, who played the lead role in Giddh, Manish says, 'It was an unforgettable experience. He is extremely humble and such a brilliant actor! We shot the film at Nadiad in three days and it was a hectic schedule (9am to midnight). There was no vanity van, and he would rest at a nearby temple in between shots. I feel lucky to have worked with brilliant actors like Sanjay sir, Naseeruddin Shah (Dhh) and Darshan Jariwalla (Gandhi & Company). As a filmmaker, you learn a lot of new things while working with such terrific performers, who add a lot more to a film apart from what is there in the script.'
