He captioned the post, ” This one felt special! My first ever award for Hindi. And my first ever for Best Actor in a negative role. Many thanks to the jury of @dpiff_official for this honour and @abhialmish for being such a kind host. For some reason my old friend, my nerves got the better of me on stage and I blanked out like a first timer. So, the one person I truly need to thank for this is Balki sir. I dont know how he saw me as Danny, but he did. And the conviction he had in me, his guidance and vision was everything for me. Thank you, sir and all my wonderful costars, the best crew and everyone at @hopeprodn for giving me the best experience on #Chup. This one is for all of you.”
