However, the actor failed to secure any of the trophies, losing the competition to Priyanka Chopra (Fashion) and Asin Thottumkal (Ghajini) respectively.
Recalling the same at an earlier interview, Sharma revealed that she was heartbroken about Asin’s win and ‘cried like a child’ for losing the award despite a stellar performance. “I am very upset they didn’t give it [Best Debut award] to me. Because I had made my calculation you know,” she had told the interviewer.
Sharma continued, “Main calculate karke gayi thi (I had calculated) that, ‘See Asin has done the film in Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada maybe. That Ghajini film. She has done it in all languages. She is already an actress for many years. Obviously usko toh nahi denge (they won’t give it to her)’.”
“Debut toh mera hua hai, main nayi hun, maine nayi film mein kaam kiya hai (It was my debut, I am new, I worked in a new film). I need the encouragement’. So I was convinced I am going to get it. But they gave it to her,” added the ‘NH10’ actor.
