National Film Awards | Karan Johar On His 4th National Film Award: "I Have Done Something Right" "Whenever we get a national award, I feel like I have done something right to win over hearts, the audience, the jury and to reach this stage. A lot of respect and gratitude to the jury. "I am excited, there are three words in our category, 'wholesome', 'popular' and 'entertainment' so what else does a director want? This is even more special because my first national award was in this category for Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. So after 27 years to come to the same category is an emotional moment for me," Karan Johar told Doordarshan on the National Film Awards red carpet. The filmmaker received the award for Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani in the best popular film providing wholesome entertainment category. This is Johar's third National Film Award in a row and his fourth one overall. The moment marks a full circle for Karan Johar who won his first National Film Award in the same category for his directorial debut, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.
