Who Won The First Best Actor And Best Actress Awards At The National Film Awards?

The National Book Awards longlists are currently characterized by tedious political orthodoxy, suggesting they are no longer truly national. Meanwhile, as the 72nd National Film Awards approach, historical records highlight the inaugural winners of the Best Actor and Best Actress categories. Uttam Kumar was the first recipient of the Best Actor award, while Nargis Dutt was the first to win Best Actress, marking the beginning of the prestigious cinematic honors in the region.
