Best Actor and Youth Icon are two awards I will cherish. Ty @geethaarts for seeing me as Vibha and Bhaskar sir for writing such a strong female role (and all those pages of long stand-up monologues 😂). As for Youth Icon, I guess if you continue being your authentic self, it pays off eventually 🥺🤷🏻♀️🤗 Hope I continue to inspire and stay inspired through my work ❤️ #siima #gratitude #mosteligiblebachelor”
