Actress Maninee De has a reason to rejoice as she has just been honored with the Best Khalnayika award for her performance in the show Dalchini at the recent Dangal Awards ceremony. She expresses her enjoyment in celebrating her achievements but maintains that she always keeps her humility intact, never allowing success to inflate her ego.

“I celebrate every win by saying thank you to the Lord. I'd like to party, but I haven't had any opportunities so far to be able to do that. Another thing that I make sure to do is a promise to myself that I'm never going to let it get to my head. My parents have taught me to always remember that success should never be taken for granted. Failure is something that shouldn't get your head down. So I live by that. I'm very grateful, I'm happy, I'm excited and I set the bar even higher for myself,” she says.

Ask her if she was expecting this, and she says, “No, honest to God, when I work, I don't work with the expectation that I'm going to get an award. That is never my end game. My end game is that I should feel that I was honest enough to have performed to my best ability. The audience reaction is what matters to be the most. When I shoot as well, I see the reactions of everyone on the set.”

She adds, “I dedicate this award to my hard work, and to the people who have created this character and who have been in my journey, together with me.”
