Lunchbox may have received rave reviews but it could not make it to the Oscars. Nevertheless, it was a treat to listen the hero Irfan Khan showering abundance of praise for his heroine Namarta Kaur, for whom it is her first film.


`I could have not learnt the art of acting in 10 years of my career which, Namarta absorbed in her first attempt", said Irfan. The duo was not sad about not being an entry for Oscar but was happy that the audience was liking the movie. `Biggest satisfaction is that the awakened viewer is loving the movie in it's entirety,` said Namrata at a TV show.
