Ali Merchant accepted the Times Hospitality Icons Award for India’s Most Iconic Artist 2021-22 in an Award Ceremony which was held at Planet Hollywood, Goa. Ali was presented with the award to recognize and appreciate his 16 years in the entertainment industry.
The talented actor has over 1000 episodes of television content and 1000 hours of live shows under his belt for which he was recognized. Apart from being a great actor and DJ, Ali is also an anchor and music producer. Commenting on the occasion Ali said “It always feels special when you’re awarded for the hard work you have done and for an artist being normal is a disaster, we require motivation regularly. Awards surely motivate me to do better and better every time.”
