Rani Mukerji may be celebrating her first National Award today, but she still remembers the sting of disappointment when she lost out for Black (2005). “I gave my all in Black, and I was 25 at that time when I did that film. There was chatter that I would win, and when I didn’t, that’s when my blinkers came on. I realised even when you do your best work, things might not be in your favour,” she said.
