While sharing his excitement, Abhishek Kapoor said, “Immensely grateful to receive the ITA award for Best Film with a social message. Missed having you by our side Ayushmann. We received this honour from a revered veteran from our fraternity, whom I have always admired, Mr. Manmohan Shetty. I’ve always held our TV industry in high regards and have been fortunate enough to collaborate with some amazing talents in the past. I would like to dedicate this one to the cause we were batting for with #chandigarhkareaashiqui. The transgender community. High time we break our social barriers and treat them with the respect, love and acceptance they rightfully deserve.”
