Saba Qamar's film continues to make headlines - for all the right reasons.

The 63rd Jio Filmfare Awards held last night in Mumbai, saw glamour and glory galore, but we only had one thing on our minds: Hindi Medium's wins.

The film bagged five nominations in the following categories, Best Film, Saba Qamar for Best Actor (Female), Irrfan Khan for Best Actor (Male), Best Director, and Best Supporting Actor (Male).

Of those, the film managed to rack up two wins: Best Film and Best Actor (Male).

Irrfan Khan went home with an award - beating Akshay Kumar (Toilet: Ek Prem Katha) and Shah Rukh Khan (Raees). However, Saba Qamar lost out to Vidya Balan in the Best Actor (Female) category for her performance in Tumhari Sulu, making it her sixth Filmfare win to date.

Here's to Saba Qamar for being recognised in Bollywood for her acting chops!

Check out the complete list of winners here.

@Nadeem Khan oh dear actually she was grossly neglected being Pakistani. I’ve seen her acting that was quite better than irfan. Also she is a better actress then balan in terms of age beauty and facial expressions.

Great achievement Saba and Irrfan bhai. I'd loved Saba as Madam Noorjehan in Sarmad S Khoosat's movie earlier anyway!! Great actress, and not to forget Bushra Ansari there too!!!

@Philosopher(from japan) Beauty is subjective, there is no absolute definitions.

@Sheraz Ali Fawad Khan has won filmfare award. Vidya Balan is stalwart is acting. Her performance in Tumari sulu was outstanding so she won.

@Philosopher(from japan) . Ok yaar you believe that, good for you. While we’re at it, lets just say Pak is best at everything, rest of the world are chumps. Note, there is a difference between Patriotism and obnoxious self gratification! BTW, why live in Japan when clearly your birthplace is so great?.. also Congrats to Saba, she was very good, its great achievement to be nominated amongst the company.

Absolute treat to watch the lead pair in Hindi Medium, Saba and Irfan had the best chemistry in the film, on the other hand Vidya is immensely talented, she too came long way from non filmy background, worked very hard. Tp me both Saba and Vidya are winners.

@Kaly same as you live in the country where rape and crimes against women are on top. Be sensible and have some etiquettes rather than going personal. You Indians are always too judgemental.

@Philosopher(from japan) You missed one common sensual point. If they had to neglect Saba, why would they nominate her? Excellent work Sabaji!!! Congrats to you and your whole team!!! We would love to see more and more of you.

Saba Qamar is one of her kind. Undisputed when it comes to talent and beauty. I loved Vidya in Tumhari Sullu, but I found Saba's performance in Hindi Medium incredible. She totally overshadowed Irfan, yet he went away with the award. Saba, you are the true winner, dont need a trophy, you are the queen of our hearts!! Love you.
