“I came into cinema with no inheritance and only a deep love for music, so this National Award feels like a beautiful pause to look back at every uncertain day, every quiet sacrifice, and every person who stood by me before there was anything to celebrate. I share this with my family, my team, and especially Aditya Dhar, whose faith in me has shaped so much of this journey. The love I have received lately has been deeply moving, and this honour makes me feel grateful for everyone who helped me become the artist I am still becoming.”
