The 66th edition of the National Film Awards 2019 was announced today and Akshay Kumar, Sonam K Ahuja and Radhika Apte, named Padman, won the award for best film on social issues. Akshay was ecstatic about the first production of his wife Twinkle Khanna and here is what he said.
A film released last year with Akshay Kumar, Sonam Kapoor Ahuja and Radhika Apte in the lead roles was Twinkle Khanna and R Balki, Padman. The film was based on the story of Arunachalam Muruganantham, a social entrepreneur from Tamil Nadu. At the 66th National Film Awards, PadMan won the award for best film on social issues. Although it was a happy moment for the entire PadMan team, Akshay was busy with Mangal Mission promotions when his wife Twinkle called him.
Upon hearing of his news, Akshay marvels at the fact that PadMan is the first production of Twinkle. Mission Mangal's star mentioned the same thing in a statement and expressed his delight to see PadMan win first place at the 66th National Film Awards. On top of that, Akshay recalled that when he was shooting for PadMan, he had received a call and had learned the existence of his national award. Life had thus closed a circle. Mission Mangal's star also congratulated Swanand Kirkire on winning the National Award for Best Actor in a Marathi film, Chumbak.

Akshay said:' I was in the middle Mangal Mission Promotions When Tina Called If It Was True? If Pad Man had indeed won a national award for best film on social issues. All my fatigue of promotions disappeared on hearing this news. I remember it was only on the Pad Man platters that Sonam and I got the news of winning our respective national awards last year. So life is complete and I could not be happier for Tina to have won this victory with his first production and of course R.Balki for having organized everything and for the whole team behind Pad Man. Not only that, Chumbak, a Marathi film that I presented, Swanand Kirkire won the National Award for Best Supporting Actor. It's a rewarding day.
