However, this was his hearty acceptance speech that actually shifted the audience.

Talking about the victory from ANI, she said, “I was not expecting it,” I was hoping that the missing ladies would win a big victory, but I did not think I would win myself. The other nominated person was incredible, and I am a big fan of all of them. I am really overwhelmed by the love that I have met. “

When asked about the emotional moment, when she could not catch a tear, she revealed, “It has become one thing now. Honestly, I could not stop crying because winning this award is a dream true for every actor, and it finally comes true for me. I am just very grateful.”

After receiving the honor, Nitanshi talked about the heavy nature of the moment.

“The first thing I did, she was crying and tried to keep a speech together because I could not believe it was happening. Then I put my mother a big hug, and Kiran made a big hug for Maam. It was all just happy tears,” she said.
Looking at the future, Nitanshi expressed enthusiasm about working with more stars.

“There are a lot of people in my list,” he said, “but Shah Rukh is at the top of Sir Chart, followed by Karthik Aryan. It would be surprising to work with any of them.”
