Ranveer, who won the award for the Kabir Khan film 83, walked onto the stage in his typical style. He said he would like to say a few words, and spoke at length about actor Amitabh Bachchan who turned 80 on Tuesday.
Calling Maharashtra his ‘karmabhoomi, janambhoomi, mera sab kuch’, the actor said whatever he is today is thanks to the state. “Whatever I am, I am because of this state and my whole identity is related to it,” he said. He went on to say that he will be always there to entertain people forever.
Ranveer also wished Amitabh Bachchan on his 80th birthday from the stage and wished that he too stayed in the industry till he turns 80. Ranveer shared that he always wanted to become like Amitabh Bachchan and his wish remains the same even today and for years to come.
