Editing award-winning films has become a habit for me. Initially, I would get upset because I never won the National Award for my work in those films. But slowly, I came to terms with the pain. This year, I kept no track of the Awards and it's come as a pleasant surprise," says Mitra. - Times of India. live. 2021-09-02.
