Watch Aneet’s heart-warming speech at ZCA:
In her acceptance speech, Aneet shared a deeply personal dedication that captured everyone’s hearts,
“The only thing coming to my mind right now is owing this to my dad, giving this to him. Papa, mainu pata hai tussi chote honde toh aap bhi actor banna chaunde si. Hun teri kudi actor ban gayi. Jado tussi mainu kaha ki mai apna sapna tere through jee re haan (Papa, I know that when you were younger, you wanted to become an actor. Now your daughter has become an actor. When you told me that I’m living my dream through you), I don’t think I’ve ever been happier. I love you so much. Secondly, I just really want to remind the audience that the magic you clap for on screen, vo taaliyan sirf hum actors ke liye nahi hai, vo actually aap sab ki kahaniyon ke liye hai aur aapki zindagi ke liye hai. And I’m just really grateful I get to play small part in honoring it.”
