As Huma accepted the award from film director Sriram Raghavan, she started her acceptance speech by thanking him. Se said, “Thank you Sriram, this is so special receiving it from you. It really is. He is one of my most favourite directors and producers. I’ve been a bit late, so I missed all the love that Monica, O My Darling got. But this year has been really special for Monica and Maharani. This award I have to dedicate to Subhash Kapoor, the entire team of Maharani and all the actors. I think it is a character that was not expected from me, so the love that I’ve got is just amazing. I’ve been winning awards since season 1, and I told Subhash Kapoor Sir that ‘Why are you making us do so much effort, they won’t give us the award again.’ So Subhash Sir, this is for you. Thank you.”
Huma Qureshi beat the likes of Samantha Ruth Prabhu (The Family Man 2), Raveena Tandon (Aranyak), Shefali Shah (Delhi Crime 2), Sakshi Tanwar (Mai), Sushmita Sen (Aarya 2) to bag the Best Actress award for Web Series.
