Parineeti Chopra wins National Award

So this week it was announced that Parineeti Chopra won a National Award, in the non-competitive category: Special Mention Award for her performance in last year's Ishaqzaade.

The film is only her second film to date, as well as being her first lead role. She was of course introduced to us in 2011's Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl - where she stole the show from Anushka Sharma, who had a weaker role.
