"This is my first ever Dadasaheb Phalke Film Foundation award and that too for a negative role... It is just overwhelming," she added in a statement.

Released in 2016, 'Chalk n Duster' narrates the story of the commercialisation of the Indian private education system, the changing student-teacher relationship and issues faced by them.

Directed by Jayant Gilatar, the film also stars Juhi Chawla, Shabana Azmi, Zarina Wahab and Girish Karnad.
