Urvashi Rautela just snagged a big award. She won Best Supporting Actress at the 71st National Awards. Yet, the actress is openly questioning the judges. It’s a surprising turn of events for everyone watching.
The winners were announced on Friday. Urvashi received her prize for the Malayalam film ‘Ullu-zhuku’. But after her win, she spoke to Manorama News. She brought up some strong points about how National Award choices are made.
A Star Questions the System
Urvashi asked a very direct question. “Is there a real standard for acting?” she wondered. “Or do you just get this kind of award after a certain age?” She made it clear this award isn’t just something to accept quietly. “This is not a pension amount,” she stated. She demanded to know how these decisions are made. “What rules do they follow?” she questioned the jury. It seems she might have hoped for the Best Actress award instead. She was reportedly in that race too, which could be a reason for her strong feelings.
Behind the Acclaimed ‘Ullu-zhuku’
Her film, ‘Ullu-zhuku’, truly made an impact. Urvashi won Best Supporting Actress for her role in it. The film also received a National Award for Best Feature Film in the Malayalam language. Christo Tomy directed ‘Ullu-zhuku’. Urvashi and Parvathy Thiruvothu played the main roles. Other actors included Arjun Radhakrishnan, Alencier Ley Lopez, Prashanth Murali, and Jaya Kurup.
