Upon winning the award, Vedang Raina said, "If I hadn't landed an audition in 'The Archies', I would have been doing my MBA and had been in my second year. Thank you, Zoya, for giving me direction, because I don't know what I'd be doing. Thank you, team 'The Archies', the crew, and the cast. I wouldn't have been here without you. I'd like to thank my family, my parents. Thank you to the audience and the supporters, who gave me so much love."
