Arshad Warsi isn’t a happy chappie. The Mr Black Mr White actor was delighted when he won the National Award for his supporting role in Lago Raho Munnabhai…or at least, he thought he won.

He explains the situation,

“First my family and close friends saw my name being flashed on television non-stop. They rang me up to tell me I had won the National award for Munnabhai. I was like, ‘Yesss. I’ve finally done it.’

Throughout the day I got congratulatory sms. But then in the evening the bubble burst. I was told that the guy who played Gandhi had got it. Tough luck.”

Dilip Prabhawalker, who played Mahatma Ghandi, won the prize. While Arshad doesn’t completely understand why Ghandi was picked over him (maybe because he’s India’s hero? Ghandi, not Dilip), he can still joke about the award, saying that he now knows what it’s like to win a national award and he’ll be prepared for whenever he really wins it.
