Dadasaheb Phalke Awards: Akshay Kumar and Deepika Padukone win big; Sushant Singh Rajput honoured posthumously

Last year owing to pandemic life came to a sudden halt. The film industry also came to a standstill with shoots getting cancelled and projects being put on a backburner. Thankfully, things are finally getting back on track. Last night, Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Awards were held in Mumbai. Deepika Padukone, Akshay Kumar, Kiara Advani, Sushmita Sen, Bobby Deol and several other celebs were honoured for their performances.

Deepika Padukone and Akshay Kumar won the Best Actor Award for their performances in Chhapaak and Laxmii respectively. Vikrant Massey won the Best Actor in a Supporting Role for Chhapaak. Radhika Madan won the Best Actor in a supporting role award for her role in Angrezi Medium.

Sushant Singh Rajput was honoured with Critic’s Best Actor (Male) posthumously. Kiara Advani bagged the Critics Choice Best Actor (Female) for her role in Netflix’s Guilty. This is the first time when Kiara has won a Critics Choice award. Expressing her happiness, the actress wrote, “My First Critics choice Best Actress award for #Guilty ?? Thank you for this prestigious honour. Thankyou @karanjohar  @ruchinarain  @somenmishra  @apoorva1972  @dharmaticent @netflix_in and my entire team of Guilty!
