In the career spanning of over 26 years, Akshay Kumar finally won his first National Award for 'Rustom'. In fact, the actor who is currently away in Madhya Pradesh shooting for 'Pad Man' was so shocked that he thought that someone was playing a late April Fools' Prank on him.
Talking about his first National film award win, the ecstatic actor said, “Honestly, my first reaction was, ‘Is this a late April Fool’s joke?’ If you think I am kidding, I am actually not. I am still trying to process this. It’s a mix of so many emotions – surprise, happiness and most importantly gratitude to the jury, the makers of the film, my parents and, of course, my beloved fans."
“Of course, 2016 was fantastic and I couldn’t have asked for more but I guess there are more things in the offing. But I don’t think anything can top this National award win,” he further added.
Akshay also posted a video on his social media handles thanking his fans for their continual love and support.
