On receiving the award, Khan decided to take that opportunity to dedicate the award to her son, Azlan. Embellished in a loosely constructed Saree, the diva delivered quite a precise speech which had cuteness oozing loud from it. In a response to a question, She said, “Thank you. I’m going to keep it short. Like you said if my son is being overlooked (because of my work)? I always ask my son about what should I say? Should I thank you? And he would always respond, ‘Please don’t thank me.’ So, I hope someone is recording this!”

The UK Asian film festival is being held to celebrate South Asian cinema independently with 12-day screening on visual treats produced by South Asia. The festival is taking place with screenings in Edinburgh, Manchester, Leicester, and London.
