New
Delhi:
After
winning
a
special
mention
for
her
performance
in
Ishaqzaade
at
the
announcement
of
the
60th
National
Film
Awards
here,
young
and
vivacious
actress
Parineeti
Chopra
says
she
is
scared
but
motivated
to
keep
giving
better
shots
in
the
film
industry.
"After
winning
so
many
debut
awards,
I
never
thought
I
would
win
for
Ishaqzaade,
but
when
I
did,
it
was
the
biggest
one
in
the
country!
That
too
for
my
first
lead
role," Parineeti
said
in
a
statement.
"I
just
cannot
believe
it.
But
this
scares
and
humbles
me,
and
will
definitely
make
me
work
even
harder
in
the
future!
Thank
you
jury," she
added.
Parineeti,
cousin
of
National
Award-winning
actress
Priyanka
Chopra,
made
her
Bollywood
debut
with
Ladies
Vs
Ricky
Bahl,
in
which
she
played
one
of
three
supporting
actresses.
Ishaqzaade
saw
her
in
the
lead
opposite
debutant
Arjun
Kapoor.
She
has
won
the
special
mention
for
her
convincing
delineation
of
a
daredevil
girl
in
a
moving
drama
of
love
and
tragedy.
