Aryan Khan has won the Best Debut Director Award for his Netflix series The Ba***ds of Bollywood.
The young entrepreneur and filmmaker received his first award for his debut series on Friday, December 19, NDTV Indian of the Year in New Delhi.
He dedicated his career’s first-ever honour to his mother, Gauri Khan, while revealing love for awards like his father, Shah Rukh Khan.
After receiving the award, the 28-year-old said, “"Good evening, everyone. First of all, I want to thank my cast, crew, and Netflix for trusting a first-time director and working with me with so much love, effort, and enthusiasm. Congratulations to all the winners tonight. This is my first award, and I hope I'll get many more because, like my dad, I love awards."
“But this award isn't for him. This award is for my mom because my mom always tells me to sleep early, not to mock people, and not to use abusive language... and today, it's because of these things that I got this award… Thank you for making my mom the happiest woman in the world, and I know when I go home, I’ll get a bit less scolding,” he added.
The first season of The Ba***ds of Bollywood, featuring Lakshya, Raghav Juyal, Bobby Deol, and Sahar Ahmed in key roles, was released on Netflix in September this year, and now fans are eagerly waiting for the second instalment of the satirical action comedy drama series.
