Shehnaaz Gill remembered Sidharth Shukla as she received her award.

Shehnaaz Gill on Saturday night left many wiping their tears as she collected her award and thanked Sidharth Shukla. Starting off in her inimitable style, she said that she wouldn’t dedicate her award to her family or friends as she was the one who worked hard for it. The Bigg Boss 13 star then surprised everyone by naming Sidharth Shukla and signed off saying that the award was for him.

Several fan clubs shared the video where Shehnaaz, looking stunning in her black fitted gown, takes the stage to receive her award. Holding the Filmfare Middle East trophy, the actor joked, “Main apne family, apne friends aur meri team ko bilkul bhi nahi dedicate karungi kyuki yeh meri mehnat hai (I will not dedicate this award to my family, friends or team because this is my hard work).” Looking at the award, she then mouthed her popular Bigg Boss dialogue, saying, “Aur tu mera hai aur mera hi rahega, theek hai?”
