Keerthy Suresh won millions of hearts by bringing back to life 'Nadigaiyar Thilagam' Savithri in 'Mahanati' which has now won her the National Award for the Best Actress in India for the year 2018. The ever so sweet Keerthy has written an emotional thanks letter on her win.

Keerthy's letter reads "First and foremost, I would like to thank each and every member from the press and media fraternity. They have been the early ones to strongly affirm that our film 'Mahanati' will get its due honours with their positive reviews and unconditional appreciations. If not for my co-stars Rajendra Prasad sir, Dulquer Salmaan, Samantha Akkineni, Vijay Deverakonda and all my other artistes, Mahanati would not be a complete film. The efforts of the technicians and actors commuted me into the world of the legendary Savitri Amma; whose blessings I believe was the strongest reason in getting accolades for me and my team. I am happy that the film has won three National Awards".

Keerthy reserved special praises for costume designers Gaurang Shah, Archana Rao and Indrakshi Pattnaik Malik for their wins writing "Their efforts of delving into intense research and detailing shaped not just my role, but every character with realistic shades,".

Keerthy also thanked her family and did not forget to extend her best wishes for all the others who won the National Awards with her. On the work front, she is currently starring in a woman-centric Telugu movie that is being shot in Europe and has signed a couple of Tamil films for which the announcements are expected soon.
