Bangalore, July 27 - She lost Kerala state government best actress award for 'Tirakatha' because she didn't dub it in her own voice. Southern actress Priyamani doesn't regret it, but at the same time she is keen to dub in her own voice.

The prestigious award eluded her because the jury refused to consider her as she hadn't dubbed for the film herself and eventually the trophy went to Priyanka.

'I have been craving to dub in my own voice in my films, but it is up to the director to use my voice. I know I could not dub for 'Tirakatha' because I was little busy and the film unit was not able to wait for me to finish the dubbing work. And I don't feel sorry for missing the award also because if I was destined to get the award, I would have got it even otherwise,' Priyamani told IANS.

'I don't act in films to get awards. I never expected that I would be getting a National Award for my Tamil film 'Paruthiveeran'. I think, it is all part of destiny and I would accept these minor setbacks as occupational hazards in my career,' Priyamani told IANS.

Priyamani, who is now shooting for her Telugu film in Hyderabad, says she has not dubbed for any Telugu films so far.
