Ahaan Panday Wins Best Debutant Actor

“Now, some time has passed, and I'm standing here in front of all of you with this in my hand, with only one single silver medal to my name. I know I owe this to Mohit Suri, Aneet Padda, my wonderful co-actress, and the whole team. I also owe this to my grandmother. She's not here anymore. She's somewhere out there in the Milky Way, beyond the galaxy. But I know she's dancing because I found my calling. This might look like silver to you guys, but I won my gold. So, thank you.”

“I think the first time was when a dear friend of mine, whose father is paralysed from the legs, actually went all the way to the cinema to watch the movie. When I heard that, it instilled something inside me. It made me feel like I have a purpose as an artist, and that there's so much more I can do and make people feel.”

“I think just loyalty and trust, but more than anything, having respect for one another - respect for each other's opinions, their space, and giving your partner, your companion, or even your friends and the people around you room to grow and have their own experiences, and not curbing that instinct.”

“There are tangible things, like the awards or the recognition or the crazy world tour that the film has been on. But in the ways that it has made me recognise the person I want to be, the kind of artist I want to be, it has made me sensitive to the cracks in our society.”
