Taapsee
Pannu
won
her
first
Filmfare
Award
this
year
for
her
performance
in
Saand
Ki
Aankh.
She
shared
the
Critics
Award
for
Best
Actress
with
her
co-star
Bhumi
Pednekar.
Taapsee,
who
unsuspectingly
gets
dragged
into
controversies
almost
always,
is
thankful
that
there
has
been
no
controversy
surrounding
her
Filmfare
win.
She
sees
it
as
people's
validation
that
she
deserved
the
award
and
is
grateful
for
that.
Taapsee
was
interacting
with
the
media
at
the
Radio
Mirchi
Music
Awards
when
she
said,
"It
is
nice
that,
for
a
change,
my
name
wasn't
dragged
into
controversy.
I
am
so
used
to
it.
I
always
get
involved
in
some
controversy
or
the
other,
but
this
time
I
wasn't
part
of
it.
It
means
that
most
people
were
in
agreement
that
I
deserved
the
award,
so
I
am
thankful
for
that."
Winning
a
Filmfare
was
a
long
time
dream
coming
true
for
Taapsee,
who
said
that
she
had
been
preparing
a
speech
for
it
since
2016.
"It
took
time
but
finally
I
got
it
and
what
should
I
say
other
than
that?
I
was
preparing
my
speech
for
it
since
2016
and
it
was
of
no
use.
But
this
year
I
didn't
prepare
a
speech
and
that
day
I
had
to
deliver
the
speech!" she
said.
Saand
Ki
Aankh
won
much
critical
acclaim
and
had
a
decent
run
at
the
box
office.
The
film
was
directed
by
Tushar
Hiranandani,
and
co-produced
by
Anurag
Kashyap,
Reliance
Entertainment
and
Nidhi
Parmar.
It
is
based
on
the
real-life
story
of
Chandro
and
Prakashi
Tomar,
who
are
the
world's
oldest
sharpshooters.
