But this award is not for him. 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 picked up the award for his directorial debut series The Ba***ds of Bollywood, which was released on Netflix on September 18.
