During an appearance for an NDTV event, the actor received the award for his performance as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj in Chhaava. While accepting the trophy, he shared, “Thank you, this is for my family and my little one who has come in as a blessing… Ye pehli baar hai jo mai shehar chhodhke aaya hu after becoming a father, and it was very tough (This is the first time I’ve left the city after becoming a father, and it was very tough).” Despite being difficult, the star shared that he’s sure that when his son grows up to watch him winning, he’d be proud of his dad.
Adding how it has been a new experience for him to have an infant in his home, the actor shared, “It is too new to feel any challenges. It’s all magical right now. It’s all very blissful right now… I don’t know mai shabdon mein nahi baiyan kar sakta ke kya feeling hai (I can’t describe the feeling in words). There are all sorts of objectives that I can say, but it’s just a very special feeling, and, truly, God has been very kind. The family is very happy, and this one is for my entire family and especially for him.” Vicky went on to say that he is “better at changing diapers than acting.”
