Well said

When Ashutosh (Gowarikar) first offered me with role I wasn't very convinced I should it. But when I discussed the project with Suzanne...

Some expected it,others were taken by surprise – here are the famous last words by the Nokia 15th Annual Star Screen Award winners

Best Actor (M): Hrithik Roshan (Jodhaa Akbar)
When Ashutosh (Gowarikar) first offered me with role I wasn’t very convinced I should it. But when I discussed the project with Suzanne,she said this role will fetch me an award. So,this award is for her.

Best Actor Supporting Role (M): Arjun Rampal (Rock On!!)
Screen Awards are very special to me because the day I first won a Screen Award was the day my daughter was born. But this is for my parents and for Mehr’s (Jessia,his wife) parents,who are here today to share this moment with me.

Best Actor Supporting Role (F): Shahana Goswami (Rock On!!)
I’m numb with excitement – I just cannot believe I’ve won this award. It’s one of those moments that make you blank and put tears in your eyes. But I would not have been able to do it without support from the Rock On!! team,especially Arjun Rampal.

Best Popular Actor Award (M): Akshay Kumar (Singh is Kinng)
I’m very thrilled to be holding this award in my hand. I was travelling and on my way back,I saw my film (Singh is Kinng) as well as Ghajini. I sincerely believe that this award belongs to Aamir Khan. I am leaving it behind here and hope Aamir comes and takes this.

Best Popular Actor Award (F): Aishwarya Rai Bachchan (Jodhaa Akbar)
I was getting married at the time when the film was being made so it’s a significant film in my career. But I could not have done this if it wasn’t for the cast,crew and director of Jodhaa Akbar. So I’m going to accept this award but this is just as much for them as it is for me.

Best Director: Ashutosh Gowarikar (Jodhaa Akbar)
This award is special to me and I do think it is important as we all worked very hard for the film.

Best Actor (F): Priyanka Chopra (Fashion)
I worked very hard on Meghna Mathur’s character so I am really excited about this award. Fashion has had very few nominations so I dedicate this to the team and to Madhur Bhandarkar,my director,who showed immense faith in me.

Best Actor in Comic Role: Tusshar Kapoor (Golmaal Returns)
I know the award comes for a role where I don’t say a word. But what the heck,I don’t mind being silent if the awards keep coming.

Most Promising Newcomer (M): Farhan Akhtar (Rock On!!)
Thank you Abhishek Kapoor (director); this is for you. Abhishek is the one who had confidence in me and insisted that I act and sing in the film.

Most Promising Newcomer (F): Asin Thottumkal (Ghajini)
I would especially like to thank Murgadoss sir (A R Murgadoss,director) for having cast me in the Tamil as well as Hindi version. I feel overwhelmed for having received so much appreciation so early in my career in Bollywood.
