Twitter user Aria wrote: “Meanwhile Katrina Kaif must be “googling” who was Smita Patil for she doesn’t even know a b s of acting”. I think she deserves an award.

The 33-year-old Baar Baar Dekho actress said the award honours the memory of Smita, who has inspired several actresses.

The actress, who was yesterday honoured with the Smita Patil Memorial Award for her outstanding contribution to Hindi cinema, promised to keep her sincerity towards her work intact.

“The one thing I do hope is that I continue to entertain the audience who have given me so much love and support”. Haters gonna hate. We congratulate Katrina for the honour.

The Priyadarshini academy that since 1984 doles out these awards once every two years says the jury unanimously decided upon Kaif as the victor for “being an outstanding individual who had shown excellence in her field”. “But when there is recognition from the industry, in the form of an award, for me it is very overwhelming”. “And I promise my attempt to be truthful and honest to the craft which has largely given me the objective of my life over the last 15 years”. And why, of all the other, infinitely more deserving actors (Kalki Koechlin, Radhika Apte, Konkana Sen Sharma, to name a few), she has been handpicked by the Priyadarshni Academy.
