The 69th National Film Awards ceremony was held in New Delhi's Vigyan Bhawan today and the awards were presented by President Droupadi Murmu. The winners of the National Awards for the year 2021, announced in August, include Allu Arjun (Best Actor), Alia Bhatt and Kriti Sanon (Best Actress) among others while the Dada Saheb Phalke Award, India's highest film honour, went to legendary actress Waheeda Rehman. A few hours after the ceremony ended, some inside pictures of the stars started doing rounds on social media. Our favourite however is this frame in which Alia Bhatt and her husband Ranbir Kapoor can be seen striking a pose with film veteran Waheeda Rehman. Actor Pankaj Tripathi, who won the Best Supporting Actor Award for his role in Mimi can also be spotted in the picture. Alia Bhatt can be seen flashing her widest smile while posing with the Pyaasa star.
The picture was shared by a fan on X (previously known as Twitter) along with a caption that read, "Alia Bhatt with the legendary Actress Waheeda Rehman ji who is honored today with Dadasaheb Phalke Award for her contributions to Indian cinema."
