“He (Akshay) deserves a national award. Not for a movie as such but because he has really grown as an actor and he is excellent at comedy. He is an all rounder, and most importantly he is a great entertainer,” she told HT City recently.

Dimple maintains that getting award is a matter of luck. “Awards are just luck. Some give brilliant performances but they never get awarded and someone else gets it. Someone can perform far brilliant than you but you get the award, so it’s not big deal,” she said.
