Friday, 7th Apr 2017, 08:16 PM IST Today at the National Awards, the Best Actress award was bagged by Surabhi Lakshmi for her performance in Malayalam film ‘Minnaminingu’. However, filmmaker Priyadarshan who was the chairman of 64th National Film Awards, in an interview, revealed that it was a tough choice between Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for ‘Sarbjit’ and Surabhi Lakshmi. "For the Best Actress Award, more than the body of work the performance was considered. Also, there weren't many actresses who were part of a lot of films and put up great performances. Surabhi's only competition was with Aishwarya Rai for ‘Sarbjit’. Surabhi clinched the award as she brilliantly performed her role of a non-glamourous Indian woman and carried the film on her shoulders," said the ‘Hera Pheri’ director.
