On April 13, the list of National Film Awards was announced, and today the winners reached the Vigyan Bhawan in Delhi to collect the awards from President Ram Nath Kovind. However, to their disappointment, the President would be handing out the awards only to 11 winners, which caused outrage amongst other awardees, as he couldn't personally felicitate all the winners. In mere disappointment, some of the winners boycotted the event. However, Information and Broadcasting Minister Smriti Irani did the needful.
