He said “This is a huge honor for me, director Nitesh Tiwari and the entire team of ‘Dangal’. I am very thankful to Lata Mangeshkar and Dinanath Mangeshkar Trust and (the) entire Mangeshkar family. A film gets its birth from its writer. This film has garnered so much love and support all over India, and its because of Tiwari. He wrote the script of this film and made a brilliant movie out of it. Whatever I achieved today in the film Industry is all because of writers and directors who have given me the opportunity to be a part of their films and work with them.”
