"For me nominations are also a big deal. I remember I was nominated in the 'Best Actress Critics' category and 'Best Female Debut' category, and I celebrated that. For my parents, my family and me it is a very big deal that we are sitting with such people. Toh award mile naa mile, ghar aake bohot acchese celebrate kiya tha maine. Nominations celebrate karlo" she added.
