Aryan Khan's acceptance speech goes viral

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan has won his first award for his directorial debut series, The Bads of Bollywood. While accepting the honour, Aryan admitted that he likes awards just like his father, Shah Rukh Khan.

However, Aryan made it clear that this win wasn’t about Shah Rukh at all; instead, he dedicated the milestone win to his mother, Gauri Khan.

At Friday's NDTV Indian of the Year ceremony in New Delhi, Aryan received the Best Debutant Director of the Year award. Savita Chhibber, Aryan's nani, went to the awards ceremony with him. Several videos of his acceptance speech have been swirling around the internet.

Accepting the award, Aryan said, “Good evening everyone. Sabse phele main apne cast, crew aur Netflix ko thank you kehna chahtha hun jinhone ek first time director pe itna bharosa kiya aur mere saath itne pyaar, mehnaat aur enthusiasm ke saath kaam kiya. Congratulations to all the winners tonight. (First of all, I would like to thank my cast, crew and Netflix for placing so much faith in a first-time director and for working with me with such love, hard work and enthusiasm).”

Comparing himself to his father Shah Rukh, Aryan added, “Yeh mera phela award hai and I hope mujhe aur bhi bahut sare awards milenge kyunki mere dad ki tarahn mujhe bhi aawards bahut pasand hain. But this award is not for him (This is my first award, and I hope I win many more because, just like my dad, I really love awards. But this award is not for him).”

Aryan dedicated his award to his mom and added, “This award is for my mom kyunki meri mom mujhse hamesha kehti hain jaldi sona, logun ka mazak nahi udana aur gaali galoch bilkul nahi… aur aaj inhi sab cheezun ke liye mujhe yeh award mila hai.. Thank you for making my mom the happiest woman in the world and I know aaj ghar jaake mujhe thodhi kum dant padegi.”

It loosely translates to, “This award is for my mom, because she always tells me to sleep early, not to make fun of people, and absolutely no abusive language… and today, I received this award for all those very things. Thank you for making my mom the happiest woman in the world, and I know that when I go home today, I’ll be scolded a little less.”

Aryan’s maternal grandmother got emotional when the debutant director was giving his acceptance speech on stage.
