I don’t have words to explain to you how much that meant to me. When I won for Gully Boy, I received the trophy from Madhuri Dixit. That was again a life moment for me. When Deepika won the best actress award for Piku, her parents were around. Our families were there. It is a very fondly remembered, cherished memory. It is emotional life moments for me and people who I love the most. There is some magic around Filmfare which is why I am ever so excited to be hosting this time.
