"'It's okay. I like Soha a lot. They probably needed a presence on stage. It doesn't look nice to give the award to an absentee winner. I'm sure I'll have many other opportunities.'"

Mumbai, Dec 22 - Debutant actress Kangana Ranaut was taken aback when her trophy was given to Soha Ali Khan at the Sabse Favourite Kaun awards function recently.<br><br>Kangana, who was told she had been picked for the Sabsey Favourite Nayi heroine of the year, is both humoured and horrified. <br><br>'I was told I was getting the award for Sabsey Favourite Nayi heroine. I got delayed in the traffic. When I reached the venue I could hear Shah Rukh's name being announced. Obviously my category had already passed,' Kangana told IANS.<br><br>'I was told to stay on and that my trophy would be sent to me at home. I sat through the rest of the function without knowing that my award had been given to someone else. I didn't even know Soha got the award until a friend phoned to say so. It's rather sad and funny,' said Kangana, who made an impressive debut with 'Gangster - A Love Story' this year.<br><br>Kangana refuses to take the matter seriously. <br><br>'It's okay. I like Soha a lot. They probably needed a presence on stage. It doesn't look nice to give the award to an absentee winner. I'm sure I'll have many other opportunities.'<br><br>As for Soha, just how she qualifies, as a new face after being in the industry for two years, is a question only the awards committee can answer.<br><br>
