Nathicharami
. Sharanya thanked the makers of the film and shared that she missed her mother deeply, but was sure her mother was looking out for her. Speaking about the bold role she played on screen (the movie also marked her debut), she said, “I am glad that I grabbed the opportunity to play such an off-beat role.
Had I not taken it up, I would not have this award today.” She also went on to serenade audiences with a surprise song performance, and the crowd enthusiastically cheered her on.
