Two times National Award winner Kanagna Ranaut is giving other actresses a run for their money by becoming the nation's favourite. The actress, who won her first National Award in 2010 for Fashion, had won several other awards the same year for the film. Later she graced the Awards ceremony once again in 2015 as she received the award from President Pranab Mukherjee for Queen. This is the third time when Kangana will walk up to receive the prestigious award for best actress for her film 'Tanu Weds Manu Returns', as an "outstanding actress".
While most actors choose to dress up in their ethnic best for the big event, Kangana surprised everyone when she appeared in a light pink cut out dress by Bibhu Mohapatra last year. (Source: Express Archive)

Kangana was congratulated with a hug by her co-actor Priyanka Chopra after she received the award.
