In 2023, I received the National Best Actress Award for my performance as Neelam Krishnamoorty in @netflix_in’s #TrialByFire—and I can still feel that fire burning in my heart. That sacred moment on the @asianacademycreativeawards stage ignited my dreams and inspired me to pour even more of my soul into my work. Today, my heart overflows with joy as I stand on this stage beside my dear friend and extraordinary actor from India, @nowitsabhi, to celebrate the nation’s finest actor and actress. What an indescribable honor to be here at the Asian Academy Creative Awards, presenting these life-changing accolades. Dearest Fiona and Michael, from the depths of my heart, thank you for weaving me into this beautiful tapestry of dreams and triumphs. I’m proud to be part of the @asianacademycreativeawards family. Huge congratulations to the #BlackWarrant team for all your awards—I felt so proud to be a small part of it, and holding @tanyachhabria’s award for Best Editor filled me with even greater pride. @priyankaraajiv, thank you for draping me in this gorgeous saree that makes me feel like a queen. My dear @pavleen_gujral, I love you and your beautiful jewellery from @dazzle_.up. And to my beloved mother’s precious nose ring, which I carry in my heart forever.
These images is around 2015 to 2016 when after working for many months with the farmers I had finished my first River rejuvenation in Pandhari village, near Aurangabad, Marathwada. I was very happy and I thought everything will be better now but then here I am in 2025 still running around in different different villages and reviving rivers, building educational facilities, healthcare and systems for farmers from rural villages. I felt tired, frustrated, hopeless, exhausted which I still feel but never ever wanted to give up the fight. I must have cried millions tears seeing the on ground issues, not getting funds for projects, right kind of support system but I had to take deep breath and carried on the fight. When Today I see the same problems I feel when and how things will change….. We must be seeing monsoons everywhere but many villages are still parched and don’t have water to even drink. Schools are there but kids are still in the farm working with their parents, kids wants to go to the schools but school building is dilapidated. Teachers are not there. Doctors are not there. Most importantly Farmers are not there today who loves farming. So The fight is not just with the system that million rivers are still not revived or schools needs to be built in villages but with every other humans from everywhere who forgotten the soil, climate, environment and about humanity which needs empathy, compassion, care and lot of work every single day with honesty. @nabhanganfoundation
