No National Award for Manikarnika will create doubt: Kangana

On her birthday, she said that for her portrayal of Rani Laxmibai in the recently released Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi, she deserves a National Award or it will raise questions on their credibility. Interacting with the media, she said, "I feel there are certain things which if you will not respect, then it is, in turn, disrespectful for that organisation itself. So, if I or my film Manikarnika... doesn't win at National film awards, then it will question the credibility of that award ceremony but if I come across other good work then, I will be objective enough to say it's better than me."

She also praised Tabu's performance in AndhaDhun and said, "I think last year, Tabu ji gave an amazing performance in Andhadun. I am floored by what she has done. I think in coming year, it will be revealed. If there will be a better performance than Manikarnika, I will definitely appreciate that but I don't think it will happen."

Kar di na choti baat. Bada socho - Nobel Peace prize, Oscar, and Academy awards, etc, etc. National award kya cheez hai?

Shez so humble, bechari ne sirf ek national award maanga. Don't worry Kangu, we can always blame the government (whichever party comes to power) for nepotism.

If Alia wins then it will be desh droh. Shez not even a citizen (unless she has dual citizenship).
