‘Badhaai Ho’ has won two awards at the 66th National Film Awards. It won the awards for Best Popular Film providing wholesome entertainment and Best Supporting Actress. Neena Gupta, who played Ayushmaan Khurrana’s mom in the movie, has spoken about the feat to Hindustan Times.

She said, “Yes I am very happy, I had forgotten the National Film Awards weren’t held till now. They are late this time because of elections. Suddenly, I came to know about them from Twitter and I couldn’t believe it we got two awards… three awards in a way. I will say three because Ayushmann bhi hume apna hi lagta hai, who got the Best Actor for ‘Andhadhun’. I am so happy.”
