Actor and producer Pallavi Joshi is currently on cloud nine as she recently bagged the Best Supporting Actress award at the 69th National Film Awards for her performance in the film The Kashmir Files. Talking exclusively to ANI, Pallavi said, “For a minute I thought that this is probably a dream when I did this character of Radhika Menon (in The Kashmir Files), I told Vivek Agnihotri that this is probably one of my best performances but I am not going to get an award for this. When I heard this news, I thought that somebody was trying to just play a joke on me. So it took me a while to sink in. I'm so happy that this character was recognised."

Helmed by Vivek Agnihotri the film starred Anupam Kher, Pallavi Joshi, Mithun Chakraborty and Darshan Kumaar in the lead roles. “It was very different from what I am as a person and to portray that honestly and sincerely was of great importance for me. Most importantly our film won the Best Film award for National Integration because that just underlines what we were trying to say through our film,” she added. The Kashmir Files won the Nargis Dutt Award for Best Feature Film on National Integration at the 69th National Film Awards.
