SIIMA 2023: Mrunal Thakur wins big, takes home Best Actress (critics) award

'Fleabag'&nbsp;may not be over just yet! Phoebe Waller-Bridge said that she could see herself returning to her popular character, but not anytime soon. 
 
Ever since the hit comedy-drama wrapped up its second season in April, creator and star Waller-Bridge insisted that there would not be a third season, reported news agency. 
 
But in the wake of the show's<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/emmys-2019-game-of-thrones-chernobyl-fleabag-win-big-see-full-list-of-winners-251371"> big wins at the 2019 Emmy Awards</a> this month, Waller-Bridge has changed her decision on the possibility of another season, well slightly. 
 
"I quite like the idea of coming back to her, well, me, when I'm 50," the 34-year-old actor said on Late Night with Seth Meyers". Cause I feel like she would've had more life then, and God knows what she would have got up to. And actually, seeing a character like that in her later stage of life, I think, is exciting," she told Meyers. 
 
However, the actor reiterated to Meyers that there are no solid plans to continue the series, "But I think, for now, she's been through enough. We got to let her go". 
 
'Fleabag', which concluded its second and final season in April, follows the sexual misadventures of a woman known as Fleabag, based on Waller-Bridge's 2013 one-woman stage play of the same name. 
 
During this year's Emmy Awards, Waller-Bridge took home the awards for best writing for a comedy series and best actress for Fleabag, while the show won outstanding comedy series and best direction for a comedy series. 
 
The best actress win for Waller-Bridge was very significant for her as she beat out 'Veep'&nbsp;fame Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who was nominated for her record 19th acting Emmy award. 
 
Following the victory, Waller-Bridge told Entertainment Tonight that the series still won't be getting a third season. 
 
"I mean, to be honest, this just feels like the most beautiful, beautiful way to say goodbye to it, actually. It does feel like the story is complete. It's so nice to hear that so many people loved it," Waller-Bridge said. 
 
Waller-Bridge was also nominated as the showrunner, writer and producer for 'Killing Eve'&nbsp;in the best drama series category, but lost to the insanely popular show 'Game of Thrones' 'Killing Eve', which stars Jodie Comer and Sandra Oh, earned Waller-Bridge her first Emmy nomination for outstanding writing in a drama series last year.

As the 65th National Film Award was announced today, there was a mixed reaction to late Sridevi winning the Best Actress award for her performance in the hit film MOM.&nbsp;

While many congratulated the jury for honouring Sridevi posthumously, many felt that it was merely done as she was in fact, no more. The jury head of the National Film Award, Shekhar Kapur also revealed that he was of the same sentiment, of not awarding Sridevi as there were many other deserving actresses who delivered breathtaking performances and who needed this award as part of a career boost.&nbsp;

As reported by a leading daily, Shekhar Kapur while announcing Sridevi’s name said, "The best actress is Sridevi for Mom and I promise you it is not my relationship with her. Every morning when I came here, I would ask everyone to vote once again. I would look at all the actors, talk about them and I would say, ‘there should be not Sridevi, not Sridevi’! We used to take a vote and it always came back to Sridevi. It was me who fought that it shouldn’t be Sridevi. We are all emotionally involved with Sridevi. I used to say, ‘don’t give her an award because she died, it is unfair on the other girls’. They have also worked hard for 10-12 years, they too have a career." 
&nbsp; 
After Sridevi won the award, her family issued a joint statement that read:&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
“We are overjoyed to know that the Jury has conferred the Best Actor Award to Sridevi for her performance in ‘MOM’. It’s a very special moment for all of us. She was always a perfectionist and it showed in all the 300 plus films she did. She was not just a Super Actor but a Super Wife and a Super Mom. It’s time to celebrate her life and her achievements. She is not with us today but her legacy will always live on. 
&nbsp; 
We thank the Government of India, the Hon’ble Jury Members for this&nbsp;honour. We also take this opportunity to thank all our friends, her fans who have been sending us congratulatory messages. 
&nbsp; 
Thank you, 
&nbsp; 
Janhvi, Khushi & Boney Kapoor” 
&nbsp; 
Apart from Sridevi, Vinod Khanna was conferred with the coveted Dadasaheb Phalke Award posthumously. The actor passed away in 2017 following a prolonged illness.
