Actress Deepika Padukone has said that awards are an important accolade and a sign of appreciation.

The ‘Cocktail’ star said, “Awards matter to me. I would have been very disappointed if I was not given any award last year. No matter what we say, at the end of the day, the person who goes there and wins the award feels good about it.

“It’s a sign of appreciation and hard work. If you are winning one then you are doing a good job.”
