As a producer & actor in this film to get this recognition in the non-feature special mention award means the world to me. The subject of our film is about female foeticide, save the girl child & for this to get recognition at the National awards is so overwhelming.”

She added, “I want to thank everyone & especially my fans for their love support prayers & duaas.Congratulations to the entire team of Ek Duaa & especially my director Ramkamal Mukerjee for making this film together with me. Much love & gratitude.” Ek Duaa tells a powerful story about female foeticide. Through its compelling storytelling, the film effectively raises awareness about the consequences of this social problem. National Film Awards 2023: Kriti Sanon Reveals She Was in Meeting and Completely Unaware of Her Best Actress Win for Mimi.
