About Rani’s 1st ever National Film Award
Rani won the Best Actress award for her role in Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway, where she played a mother fighting to bring her children back home.
Her role in Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway is based on the real-life case of Sagarika Chakraborty, whose children were taken by the Norwegian government in 2011.
What Rani said after winning the award
After bagging the honour, Rani called it a big moment in her long journey in cinema. “I’m overwhelmed to have won the National Award for my performance in Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway. Incidentally, this is the first-ever National Award in my 30-year career. As an actor, I have been fortunate to have some incredible films in my body of work and have received so much love for them,” she said in her statement.
Rani also added that for her, this award means more than just recognition for a single film and shared that the honour is very “emotional and personal” for her, as the film’s message is close to her heart.
