I’m actually overwhelmed to obtain my first National Award in my 30-year journey as an actor. This honour means the world to me, and I wish to dedicate it to my late father, who at all times dreamt of this second for me. I miss him deeply as we speak, and I do know it’s his blessing and my mom’s fixed power and inspiration that guided me by means of the function of Mrs. Chatterjee.
To my unbelievable followers, thanks for being by my facet by means of each excessive and low. Your unwavering love and help has been my biggest motivation. I understand how a lot this award means to all of you, and it brings me immense pleasure and happiness to see how pleased you might be.
I share this award with my good director Ashima, my producers Nikkhil, Monisha, Madhu, and everybody at Zee who introduced this movie collectively. Above all, I thank my total forged and crew from Estonia and India with out whom this movie couldn’t have been made, particularly through the challenges of the COVID interval. The total workforce of Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway poured their hearts into this highly effective story, and I’m deeply grateful to every considered one of them.
A heartfelt thanks to the esteemed National Award jury for recognising our work. This movie, and this second, will at all times maintain a particular place in my coronary heart.
This award can also be a tribute to all of the moms all over the world – their power, braveness and unconditional love. Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway is a narrative that moved me deeply as a result of it captures the unbreakable spirit of an immigrant mom, combating in opposition to all odds in a international land to guard her little one. As a mom myself, this function was extremely private. Through this movie, we tried to honour the spirit of motherhood and I hope it serves as a reminder of the quiet energy girls carry inside them each single day.
