Piku director Shoojit Sircar is disappointed for his leading lady Deepika Padukone’s miss at the 63rd National Awards. Kangana Ranaut bagged the Best Actress Award for her double role act in Tanu Weds Manu Returns (Amitabh Bachchan bags National Award for Best Actor, Kangana is the Best Actress, Mar 28).

Point to be noted here is that Deepika was a favourite at every popular award show this season for Piku.

Speaking exclusively to SpotboyE, Shoojit expressed his dismay. “I would’ve loved if Deepika had got the Best Actress Award because it was one of her best performances so far. And I don’t say this because I directed her. Piku will be remembered forever as one of her most nuanced performances. As for the national honour, she will get her due there as well, with another performance though,” said Shoojit.
