When Ahaan took to the stage to accept his trophy, the moment was filled with both humility and nostalgia. Reflecting on his long journey to the big screen-which included years of training and a shelved superhero project-he expressed deep gratitude:
"Honestly, it took me a long time to understand that this moment was finally happening to me. I owe this win to Mohit Suri and my wonderful co-star Aneet Padda. But most of all, this is for my grandmother; she is somewhere up there watching this. I have had my ups and downs, but I’ve enjoyed every bit of it."
Ahaan also recalled a quiet moment on the set of Saiyaara where he and Aneet, both then unknown faces, sat on a beach hoping that at least one person would leave the theater feeling moved by their work. The standing ovation at the NDTV awards proved they had moved millions.
