Juhi Chawla won the Dadasaheb Phalke Academy award for best actress female for her stellar performance in the film Chalk N Duster.
"I am really honoured to be among versatile film personalities with whom I have worked all these years. Chalk N Duster is very close to me. The subject of the film was very interesting. I am very pleased to receive this award, it is a very big honour. I had won two years back for Gulaab Gang, and both these performances have been my personal favourite. I am so glad that I received the award for these two films. I cannot thank enough," Juhi said while receiving the award.
Earlier this year, Divya Dutta too won the Dadasaheb Phalke Film Foundation award for best actor in a negative role for the film.
“This is my first ever Dadasaheb Phalke Film Foundation award and that too for a negative role in Chalk and Duster. It is just overwhelming,” says Divya, who earned loads of critical acclaim for her performance in Veer Zaara, Delhi-6, Heroine and Bh aag Milkha Bhaag, among others.
Released in 2016 Chalk n Duster narrates the story of commercialisation of the Indian private education system, the changing student-teacher relationship and issues faced by them.
