Kangana
Ranaut
today
said
winning
her
career's
second
National
award
for
Queen
came
as
a
special
but
sweet
surprise.
The
actress
was
shooting
for
her
upcoming
film
Tanu
Weds
Manu
Returns
when
she
got
the
news.
"This
award
is
special
for
me.
I
had
no
clue
about
it
because
a
day
before
I
was
busy
with
my
birthday
and
the
poster
launch
of
Tanu
Weds
Manu
Returns.
It's
a
real
thing
for
me
because
unlike
other
awards
there
was
no
pre-nomination
party
and
'ho
halla'
about
it," she
told.
Kangana
was
a
front-runner
for
the
honour
for
her
powerful-yet-subtle
portrayal
of
a
traditional
girl
who
goes
on
a
journey
of
self-realisation
after
being
ditched
at
the
altar
in
the
Vikas
Bahl-directed
movie.
The
actress
won
her
first
National
award
in
the
best
supporting
actress
category
for
Fashion.
"To
be
honest,
I
really
don't
remember
the
day
I
won
my
first
National
award.
I
was
watching
TV
and
came
to
know
that
I
won
it.
I
was
young
at
that
time.
I
am
glad
that
Queen
connected
everyone.
I
think
the
cheer
from
the
people
when
the
award
was
announced
on
March
24th
was
something
which
all
actor
wants,"
she
said.
The
'Gangster'
star,
who
faced
a
lot
of
criticism
for
her
accent
and
fashion
style
initially,
is
happy
to
have
made
a
successful
career
and
wants
to
be
more
careful
while
selecting
her
future
roles.
"I
was
earlier
criticised
for
my
fashion
sense
and
accent.
But
as
an
actor,
it
never
discouraged
me
because
I
had
other
reasons
to
be
happy.
I
won
my
first
National
award
when
I
was
19
and
it
has
been
the
most
amazing
part
of
my
career,"
she
said.
"I
am
careful
with
my
projects.
I
will
choose
my
future
roles
with
a
lot
of
thought
now,"
she
added.
Post
Queen,
Kangana
has
been
on
a
career
high
as
she
has
a
chock-a-block
diary
filled
with
interesting
projects,
most
recent
one
being
the
sequel
of
Tanu
Weds
Manu
which
releases
on
May
29.
She
will
next
be
seen
in
Katti
Batti
and
Sujoy
Ghosh's
movie.
Four
other
projects,
including
one
with
Hansal
Mehta,
are
in
the
pipeline.
