Sri gave her best always: Boney
Sridevi's husband and producer Boney Kapoor says the late actress gave her best to all the films that she did in her career and it is unfortunate that she is getting her first National Film Award after her death.
“This is her first National Film Award. It is a very proud moment for all us. At the same time, a sad moment. We wish she was here with us. She truly deserves it and she has been around for almost 50 years and done almost 300 films.”
“She has always given her best to all her films. Finally, unfortunately after she has left, she has been awarded with this honour,” he added.
Sridevi's powerful role as vengeful mother in the Hindi film Mom fetched her the honour.
‘If the government of India cannot earmark three hours of its time, they should not bother giving us National Awards. More than 50 per cent of our sweat, you take it as entertainment tax, the least you could do is respect the values we hold dear’

Actress Emilia Clarke says it is exciting to play a strong female character in Solo: A Star Wars Story.The actress, famous for essaying Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones, will be seen as Qi'ra in the film.
“It is really exciting. As someone who has taken on characters that already exist, which can be really daunting and scary, it's been really fun to slip a new character in here that is integral to a character that we all know so well,” Clarke said
Zoe defends James Cameron
Actress Zoe Saldana feels filmmaker James Cameron was misunderstood for his thoughts on the superhero genre and says people should read the full article before jumping to a judgment.
In an interview, Cameron said he believes the world has had enough of superhero films and people will soon get Avengers fatigue.
Asked if she has any comment on Cameron's comment about Marvel fatigue, Saldana said ‘no.’
“My advice for people is to read full articles and not just believe a soundbite. Because usually, soundbites are very mean-spirited and they are just done for the intention of getting more likes and more views — it's not really with the intention of educating and informing the public.”
“So for all those educated intellectuals out there that like to stay current with news, just read the full article,” she said.
