(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) Amitabh Bachchan won the best actor award for playing a hypochondriac father in "Piku", while Kangana Ranaut scored her second consecutive best actress honour at the 63rd National Film Awards, where Hindi films won in major categories barring the top prize that went to "Baahubali".
This is 73-year-old Bachchan's fourth National award. He previously won the honour in 1990 for "Agneepath", for "Black" in 2005 and for "Paa" 2009.
Ranaut, 28, won the award for her role in romantic comedy-drama "Tanu Weds Manu Returns" for her endearing dual turn as Tanu, a troublesome wife and Haryanvi sportsperson Datto. It is her third trophy at the National Awards, having earlier won best supporting-actress for "Fashion" and best actress "Queen" last year.
