Krishna Mukherjee spoke candidly about Rani’s win while at a Durga Puja event in Mumbai. She stated, “I am happy that she got a National Award. But it is very late. She should have received it for Black. Despite this, I am proud of her today.”

Joining her in conversation, Chitrani Lahiri, wife of late musician Bappi Lahiri, expressed her own surprise regarding the delay in recognition for Rani’s talents. Krishna lamented, “Rani has acted wonderfully in Black. It’s baffling that she wasn’t honored earlier, especially after 30 years in the industry. But today, she is finally being recognized.”

She also mentioned her joy for actor Shah Rukh Khan, who also received his first National Award for his role in Jawan.
