Kangana Ranaut, a recipient of 3 National Awards (‘Tanu Weds Manu Returns', ‘Fashion’ and ‘Queen’) in an interaction with an entertainment portal said that she is happy that 'Andhadhun' got its due as it was snubbed at every or award show. She said that she was thrilled seeing winner list.

Kangana Ranaut's sister Rangoli Chandel too echoed same thoughts on Twitter and wrote that it was good to see genuine talent getting recognition. She furr went on to take a jibe at Karan Johar and 'paan elaichi' award shows. Netizens wondered if it was targeted at Alia Bhatt's 'Gully Boy'. Take a look at her tweet -

For those unaware, Kangana impressed audience with her act in 'Manikarnika: Queen of Jhansi' but unfortunately film couldn't be selected for National Film Awards 2019. Why? Some reports suggest that it wasn't submitted before cut off date for censor certificate which was December 2018.

Back in March 2019, on Kangana's birthday, when she was asked about winning fourth National Award, she had n said: "I feel re are certain things which if you will t respect, n it is, in turn, disrespectful for that organization itself. So, if I or my film 'Manikarnika...' doesn't win at National film awards, n it will question credibility of that award ceremony but if I come across or good work n, I will be objective eugh to say it's better than me. 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 re will be a better performance than 'Manikarnika', I will definitely appreciate that but I don't think it will happen."

Meanwhile, Aditya Dhar won Best Director award for his debut "Uri: Surgical Strike" while "Andhadhun" also won awards for best Hindi film and best-adapted screenplay. Actor Keerthy Suresh won best actress award for her portrayal of yesteryear star Savitri in Telugu film "Mahanati".
