Winners of the 70th National Film Awards were announced on Friday. Veteran filmmaker Sooraj R Barjatya bagged the Best Director award for `Uunchai` at the 70th National Film Awards for the year 2022. Neena Gupta also won Best Supporting Actress for the same film.
Barjatya first won the National Award 30 years ago for Hum Aapke Hain Koun. Reacting to the win this year, the filmmaker said, "I am humbled to be honoured amongst the best that the country has seen in cinema during 2022. It takes me back 30 years, when Hum Aapke Hain Koun won the National Award for best film. The rush and happiness that I felt as a young director then was crazy! But today, as I get the National Award for Best Director - Uunchai, there is a sense of gratitude and calmness.. The joy and happiness are much more internal today! As a director, my job for the last 35 years has been to keep telling stories. And I`m not done yet, there`s much more to come!"
