And we will continue to learn from you, not just me, but also future generations." Babil could not control his emotion and broke down. He went on stage and accepted the award gracefully. In his acceptance speech, he said, "I didn't prepare a speech, but I'm really grateful that you all accepted me with open arms, and gave me so much warmth, and so much love. All I want to say is you and I are going to make this journey together." It was an emotional moment indeed and Rajkummar and Anurag Basu, who was present on stage, could not hold their tears as well.

Babil had worn one of Irrfan Khan's outfits that night. Sharing the story behind it, he had written, “The story behind the clothes was that my father hated participating in fashion shows and ramp walks but he did it in these same clothes in order to continuously break out of his comfort zone. That is exactly what I was doing last night, tearing through into new spaces that I’m uncomfortable with.”
