Actress Kirti Kulhari, who was honoured for her performance in the 2016 film “Pink” at the Dadasaheb Phalke Excellence Awards 2017, says she is proud and grateful to be a part of the movie.
“I am grateful to the audiences who have appreciated ‘Pink’ and supported it wholeheartedly. I believe that the theme of ‘Pink’ has a universal appeal. It was and always will be a very important and relevant film,” Kirti said in a statement.
“And the fact that such films are doing well commercially and critically, gives me as an actor, immense satisfaction and happiness.
“I am thankful to the Dadasaheb Phalke Excellence Awards team for recognising and appreciating the actor in me. Will always be extremely grateful and proud that I got to be a part of a phenomenon called ‘Pink’,” added Kirti, who played the role of Falak Ali in the Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury directorial.
The film, which also features megastar Amitabh Bachchan, Taapsee Pannu, Andrea Tariang and Angad Bedi, was given the National Film Award for Best Film on Other Social Issues at the 64th National Film Awards, which were announced earlier this month.
