Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt, who has received the ‘Best Actress’ award at the 69th National Film Awards for her performance in Gangubai Kathiawadi, wore her wedding saree to the ceremony on Tuesday. The ceremony was held in New Delhi and was attended by the President Droupadi Murmu.
As Alia went on the stage to receive the prestigious award, she bowed down and touched the floor. The actress looked beautiful in her wedding saree, which was in ivory colour. She accessorised the look with a choker neck piece, matching earrings and tied her hair in a bun, with white roses. She completed the look with a red bindi and minimal make-up. The actress was accompanied by her actor-husband Ranbir Kapoor. He was wearing a black outfit. Released in 2022, Gangubai Kathiawadi has been directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
Actress Kriti Sanon was also conferred the Best Actress Award at the 69th National Film Awards for her performance in the film Mimi. Kriti arrived at the ceremony along with her parents. She looked beautiful as she donned a pastel saree. Kriti jointly won the Best Actress award with Alia Bhatt.
Actress Pallavi Joshi bagged the Best Supporting Actress award for her performance in the film The Kashmir Files. After winning the award, Pallavi said, “For a minute I thought that this was probably a dream when I did this character of Radhika Menon (in The Kashmir Files). I told Vivek Agnihotri that this was probably one of my best performances but I would not get an award. When I heard this news, I thought that somebody was trying to just play a joke on me. So it took a while to sink in. I’m so happy that the character was recognised.”
