New Delhi – Actor Rani Mukerji on Wednesday said winning the first National Film Award of her 30-year career is an emotional moment and dedicated the honour to her late father Ram Mukherjee.

Mukerji was bestowed with the honour of Best Actress for her performance in“Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway” by President Droupadi Murmu at the 71th National Film Awards ceremony on Tuesday.

Directed by Ashima Chibber, the film was released in March 2023.

“I'm truly overwhelmed to receive my first National Award in my 30-year journey as an actor. This honour means the world to me, and I want to dedicate it to my late father, who always dreamt of this moment for me.

“I miss him deeply today, and I know it's his blessing and my mother's constant strength and inspiration that guided me through the role of Mrs Chatterjee,” the 47-year-old actor said in a statement.

She also expressed gratitude to her fans and to the cast and crew of“Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway”, which tells the story of Debika Chatterjee (Mukerji), an Indian mother in Norway who battles the authorities to regain custody of her children after being forcibly separated from them.
