On the stage, he thanked the ladies of his life for his values. He said, “I want to thank my sister, my wife and my little daughter for bringing me up well and teaching me the value of requesting, sometimes imploring and begging a yes from a woman, instead of forcing it upon her.”

“Service of others is not a choice but a duty we must all fulfill”, the actor said in his speech.

 

Aprat from SRK, Hollywood star Cate Blanchett and singer-songwriter Elton John also received awards at the event.
