In his acceptance speech, Ranbir expressed his gratitude to Rishi Kapoor and said, “Every day I think of you, I remember you and everything that I feel for you… the love, the affection I try to channelise it through this part and I hope you are up there in peace and resting.”

Ranbir also dedicated a special mention to his daughter Raha, born just a week before he commenced shooting for Animal. He said, “And last but not least my daughter Raha… naughty… you were born and a week later I started principal shooting for Animal and every single day just to come home to you has been the most joyful experience of my life. Mumma and papa are bringing you a bua and a massi (referring to black lady) tonight to play… I can’t wait to experience every adventure with you… I love you naughty. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen… see you at the movies.”
