Viral: Allu Arjun's immediate reaction for the announcement of 'National Awards'

HYDERABAD: The aspiration to achieve a National Film Award is cherished by many, yet only a select few manage to transform this dream into reality. Over the course of the 68-year history of the National Film Awards, the title of Best Actor has remained elusive for Telugu cinema, leaving a lingering question: Will this coveted recognition forever be like untouched grapes, unattained and out of reach? This sentiment has resonated with Allu Arjun, who harbored his own apprehensions and concerns.

However, strategic plans were set into motion. Allu Arjun emerged victorious in the fiercely contested Best Actor category, prevailing over a constellation of renowned stars. The exuberance among his fan base is palpable and widespread as they revel in this momentous achievement.

The announcement of Allu Arjun's win evoked genuine astonishment from the actor. In disbelief and sheer surprise, he expressed his emotions, acknowledging the unexpected recognition, stating, "I am still in shock... I can't believe it!"

This triumph reinforces the notion that when an iconic figure like Bunny defies conventional expectations and attains the seemingly unattainable, it revitalizes the belief that the impossible can be transformed into reality.

Director Sukumar, who collaborated closely with Allu Arjun on "Pushpa," was profoundly moved by the accomplishment. The emotions were overwhelming as tears of happiness welled up in Allu Arjun's eyes, prompting an emotional moment between the two. This heartwarming scene was captured on camera, and the ensuing video swiftly went viral across social media platforms.

Among the other winners were Alia Bhatt for "Gangubai Kathiawadi," Kriti Sanon for "Mimi" as Best Actress, Pankaj Tripathi as Best Supporting Actor for "MM," Pallavi Joshi as Best Supporting Actress for "The Kalmir Files," and Nikhil Mahajan as the Best Director for "Godavari."
