Speaking to a media organisation after the awards were announced Kangana said. “it is a huge recognition and it is a big moment for me. Unlike other awards where you have to dance on stage, please one and all, this award is handed out by the President of India, which commands a lot of respect and prestige.
You can’t buy respect, you have to earn it. For many Bollywood awards, your film family royalty is considered but a National Award is given to the most deserving. It does not matter what your last name is or who your friends are,” said the outspoken actress.
