Kangana's father Amardeep Ranaut said it was a proud moment to see his daughter receive her third National Award from President Pranab Mukherjee here.
"... I am very happy. I am a proud father and it is a matter of great pride," he told PTI.
The 29-year-old actress stood out in a pink off-shoulder gown from Beirut-based Lebanese designer Georges Chakra.
She teamed her gown with a classic bob, which is similar to the look that she will be seen sporting in her upcoming film "Rangoon".

Her third National award was in the best supporting actress category for "Fashion".
As she arrived, Kangana greeted Amitabh Bachchan and his family who were sitting in the front row. Bachchan won the best actor honour, his fourth National Award, for his role in "Piku".
The ceremony was a welcome respite for the actress, who is engaged in a bitter fight with her "Kites" co-star Hrithik Roshan. Both the stars have slapped legal notices on each other besides engaging in a public row.
Kangana, however, maintains they had a relationship while accusing the actor of engaging in slut-shaming by releasing her private emails to him.
