Rani's National Award win was special as she shared the moment with SRK

Rani Mukerji expressed her gratitude in a chat with India Today, saying, "I think the (National) award means so much happiness for my fans, well-wishers, friends and family who have wished this award in my life because I am winning this for the first time. I have actually been like a horse with blinkers. My single-minded focus has always been to work hard, do the best in my craft because success of a film is not in our hands. We do the best for the film and then it is the audiences choice if they like a film or don't like a film. But what's in my hand is to do the best that I can deliver and that is what I have done for the last 3 years."She then talked about sharing the moment with SRK and added, "It feels special probably because Shah Rukh and I won in the same year, at the same time. So, it just made it even more special."
