Twitter users even started trolling the actress whose last release on the big screen was 'Baar Baar Dekho' with Sidharth Malhotra.

The award was earlier received by noted Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone.

One Shakti Shetty tweeted: "Katrina Kaif is as wooden as they come but just for outrage's sake, do you know who won the Smita Patil Memorial Award before her? Exactly."

One Rasheed Kappan posted: "Well, look at it this way: Smita Patil award mite spur Katrina 2 better acting. Same logic applied when Obama was awarded Nobel Peace Prize!"

Another Twitter user Mansi commented,"#KatrinaKaif to receive the #SmitaPatil Memorial Award. And then you blame Indians for being intolerant."
