The National Film Award winners were announced in August.
Earlier in August, Vaibhavi expressed her emotions via an Instagram note filled with gratitude.
''Today is an extremely special day. As an artist, there is no greater honour than being recognised by the government - when they value and celebrate your art. To receive the National Award for Dhindora Baje Re, 25 years after Dholi Taro Dhol Baaje, I am truly overwhelmed and beyond words,' she wrote at the beginning of her post.
'My heartfelt gratitude to the man who made it all possible, Karan Johar, for bringing Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani to life and giving me the chance to be part of something so meaningful,' she added.
Vaibhavi won her first National Film Award for Best Choreography for the song 'Dholi Taaro Dhol Baaje' from the 1999 film Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. (ANI)
