Actor Saurabh Shukla says he wasn’t aware that his name was sent for the National Film Awards. In fact, he didn’t even know that the winners would be announced today.
In a telephonic interview, here is what the actor had to say just moments after winning the award.
It came as a surprise to me.. I was not expecting this. This award has made my day. I am absolutely elated about winning the National Award.
It is a prestigious award.. it encourages you and keeps you going. I have no words to explain my feelings.
I didn’t even know that the production house had sent my name for the awards. My family and friends are really happy for me.
In the 20 years of my career, I have always received critical appreciation for my performances but this was the first year when I won the Screen Award for Jolly LLB. And now I won the National Awards! It’s like a dream come true.
I am also happy that Jolly LLB won the Best Film.

He was fabulous in Jolly LLB. The movie deserves every bit of acclaim and awards!

Saurabh shukla is a gem of an actor,be it serious roles or comedy ones.
He was very good in jolly llb,and definitely desrves this.

He is a superbeb actor. Actors like saurabh sukla,anupam kher,om puri,nasrudin sha etc are the real actor they take their perfomance on another lavel but they never get credit and also they never ask, said they all are much talented than A-list actors but as their is saying ”All superstars are not good actors and all actors are not superstars”.
@rahul agree with you. @babaji he was also in Lage Raho Munnabhai remember Batuk Maharaj. He was too good in that film.
I like this actor for his performance in Staying Alive
Kallu Mama, you deserve the Award. Keep it up.
@Saurabh Shukla I know you have no words. But I have 5 words “Ranveer in Lootera was better”
