First Impressions
My reaction is

The winners of this year’s Indian National Award are in, and while the names are crowded by indie and offbeat movies, only one name stands out from the masala stream of the Hindi Film Industry.

Vidya Balan, who wow’ed audiences with her ‘bombat’ performance in The Dirty Picture, has been awarded ‘Best Actress’. Speaking at yesterday’s press conference in Dubai, she said, “I am in a state of pleasant shock. Forgive me if I am gushing. I am just so excited.”

“The moment I got the message, I called my family, my mum was crying, my sister was screaming and my dad said ‘oh my God, God bless’ or something. Maybe I am making this up – it’s all so hazy,” she added.
