It was back in 2014 when Kriti Sanon made her Bollywood debut with `Heropanti`, and after a nine-year-long career in the movies, she is touted as one of the country`s most versatile and prominent actors. She is currently on top of her game. Be it on-screen or off-screen, Kriti is ruling everywhere. On Thursday, she added another feather to her cap by winning Best Actress at the 69th National Award for her effortless performance in `Mimi`, which was released in 2021. In `Mimi`, Kriti essayed the role of a surrogate mother.

After the win, an ecstatic Kriti spoke to ANI and shared how she celebrated one of the most memorable moments of her life."I was in a meeting in the evening and all of a sudden I started getting non-stop calls. I couldn’t understand what was going on. I usually don`t step outside the meetings to take calls but this time I had to, and that`s when I really got to know about my win. I literally froze for a few seconds. I told my manager to hold the meeting for a while. I quickly ran towards my parents and shared the news with them. We hugged, we cried...We all got so emotional," she said.
