"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", Kangana told PTI in an interview. 

The actress had received her first National Award for Fashion in 2008. Talking about the prestigious award, Kangana said, "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 actors want".

"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, adding, "I am careful with my projects. I will choose my future roles with a lot of thought now".
