Expressing her happiness, the actor shared, "To be in the same room with some of the finest makers of the country, to have your name announced not once but twice and to actually go on stage to receive the #Nationalaward from President Murmu will be a memory I will hold onto for life. And to receive this award during Navratri, makes my faith in prayer even stronger. What an absolute honor sharing the award with @nithyamenen, a fantastic artiste herself! Thank you @mib_india for this honor for our film #kutchexpress. I couldn’t stop crying so much so that Madam President had to ask me to stop … but Kya karein control nahi hota hai! How I missed my rockstar husband and co producer @parthivgohil9 who couldn’t make it as he is busy making lakhs of people dance to his tunes in Mumbai. Congratulations @viral2886 @styleitwithniki and the whole team! Dreams do come true ♥️." (Photo: Instagram)
