No matter how hard the journey may have been, to stand here now, in front of my family, is the cherry on this almighty cake we call life,” to Hindustan Times.

Before heading for the ceremony, Akshay posted a picture with his family, and wrote, , “An important day in my life with the most important people in the world to me, my family #NationalFilmAwards.”
