Anupam Kher Hurt As He Loses National Award To Allu Arjun?
Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter), Kher wrote, "Delighted and proud that #TheKashmirFiles won the prestigious and most important #NationalAward - Nargis Dutt award for #BestFeatureFilm on national integration."
"Not only as an actor but also being an executive producer on the film I am so happy for this recognition for our film. Would have loved to win an award for my acting too. पर अगर सारी ख्वाहिशें पूरी हो जाये तो आगे काम करने का मज़ा और उत्साह कैसे आएगा।चलिए! Next time! My heartfelt congratulations to every winner! Jai Ho!" he added.
While talking to Hindustan Times in an interview, the Uunachai actor shared that his acting in The Kashmir Files was the finest and deserved a National Award. "I would have loved to win a National Award for my acting, too, because this is undoubtedly one of my finest performances. But like I mentioned (in my social media post), agar saari khwaishein poori hojaein to aage kaam karne ka maza kaise aayega (If all my wishes come true, I won't have any fun working ahead.)" he said.
He further applauded the other actors who won and stated, "Sometimes when you don't win an award, the only thing you have to show is grace. It is not about undermining the person who has won it."
He added, "Whether it's Allu Arjun (Best Actor for Pushpa) or Pankaj Tripathi (Best Supporting Actor for Mimi), all of them are very talented actors and deserve all the appreciation and recognition. But I am very objective when it comes to performance, and The Kashmir Files was one of my best performances. There are three-four categories that they give awards for. So it would have been nice. But again I would say that it's not a complaint but just an observation."
