(I actually don’t perceive this complete idea of ‘supporting actor’ or ‘supporting actress.’ In case you suppose you preferred this efficiency and that one too, then simply give two awards. What even is supporting? How do you determine that?)”

(laughs) Mujhe samajh mein aj tak nahi aya. 6 award dedo agar apko 6 actors pasand aye. Supporting kya hota hai? Abhi kahi most important padh rahi thi ki Pradhan ji ko supporting actor ka award milna chahiye. ( I’ve obtained so many ‘supporting’ awards for Panchayat. However the place am I supporting? Who am I supporting (laughs)? I’ve by no means fairly understood it. In case you preferred six performances, then give six awards. What’s this concept of supporting? I used to be simply studying someplace that Pradhanji (her character) ought to get a supporting actor award!”
