Director Saad, in particular, made the film with great care. The whole team worked hard. The National Film Awards are special to me. I am happy, ashamed and sad at the same time.

I have struggled a lot in life, I have never turned away from good. Always with good work.

There’s a thing called artist liability, has it increased after receiving such a big award?

To be honest, I’ve always been and am honest about my job. As I have love for my work, there is also a responsibility. It’s already the case. After receiving the award, it should be done more beautifully. I think everyone has a responsibility to art, that’s why we love art.

Guti has indeed done a good job. I am soaked in each other’s love. Sultana’s character touched everyone.
