This award belongs to everyone who has worked in it.

Then he goes to his jaan, his jigar, his jigar ka tukda, Alia Bhatt..He continued, He feels much blessed to witness her Ali perform Gangubai right in front of him.
Every moment was so special and so young from the heart.

This young girl met him when she was 9 years old and auditioned for his film Black.He didn’t cast her because she had other things to do in life. But at that moment, he knew that she is a heroine. Thank you for immortalising Gangubai, for making her soul feel so proud and giving her the voice for all the issues which she fought for. She has reached out to the world once again. And he accepts the award for his mother and dedicates it to her. It’s her blessings that have always protected him and God for listening to his prayers.”
As Bhansali went back on his seat, it was Alia’s time to feel the glory of Gangubai. Veteran actor Rekha presented the Best Actress award to Alia and she was all praise for her. While accepting the award, Alia turned emotional and went blank for a few seconds before starting her acceptance speech.
Then she began, “she is blanking out because it took them 2 years to make this film. And the weird thing is, when Sanjay sir narrated her this film, she was very scared. And the first question she asked him was, ‘Sir, will she be able to do this? She never thought she will be able to do this.’
And sir said, ‘Yes, you will do this.'”

Whatever she has done in Gangubai Kathiawadi, it was only thanks to Sanjay Leela Bhansali. At 9, she had this dream to work with Bhansali and one day she will be fit enough to be his leading lady. So thank you so much adding
She will always be forever indebted and our journey has just begun.
