Bollywood actor Alia Bhatt was also present at the award show. The actor was bestowed with the Honorary Entertainment Makers Award. In her widely shared acceptance speech, Alia expressed her deep love for cinema and gratitude towards the organisers for bringing diverse talents together.

She said, “It’s truly an extraordinary night. I’m obsessed with movies, it’s all I know. I’ve said this before, I think when I was born, I came out on ‘Lights, camera, action’. That’s how much cinema means to me. One of the things, if we are talking about joy, one of the greatest things in our lives is love. So tonight when I go back home, I take back with me the love of the movies and the love that I felt here in Riyadh. So, thank you so much, and here’s to the magic of movies.”
