Filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali won the best director award for Gangubai… and after holding the trophy In his acceptance speech he said, “Gangubai is a very special film and close to my heart. I get very emotional every time we talk about it. This award belongs to everyone who has worked in it. Then I come to my jaan, my jigar, mera jigar ka tukda, Alia Bhatt.”
He continued, “I am very blessed to witness her perform Gangubai right in front of me. Every moment was so special and so young from the heart. This young girl came to me when she was 9 years old and auditioned for my film Black. I didn’t cast her because she had other things to do in life. But at that moment, I 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 I take this award for my mother Leela. It’s her blessings that have always protected me and God for listening to my prayers.”

Rightly deserved Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Alia Bhatt.

Alia Bhatt isn’t less than diamond Kohinoor, she is a miracle in the Indian Film Industry.

Long live Alia,
Long live Indian Film Industry.
