While accepting the award, Nushrratt delivered an emotional speech that resonated with many in the audience.

The fact that I'm here and I'm able to take this journey for all the Chhoriis out there. I have goosebumps saying it because really for me it's been a journey to kind of do that for my own self, to prove that in my filmography and to get an award for it today. Guys, you have no idea what this means to me.” She went on to express heartfelt gratitude to the jury, her team, director, producer, co-stars, and the entire film fraternity, acknowledging the collective effort behind her success.
In a candid moment during the post-award interaction, the host asked Nushrratt what she fears the most, given her fearless persona on screen. Her response was both vulnerable and profound, “To be forgotten. I don’t know how I've said this on a stage like this. But I think that's what reflects in my film choices. I don't want to be in a film where you forget me. We are all going to die. But I want to leave behind something people can remember of me and see it and be like - That's Nushrratt. That's who she was.” Chhorii 2 not only showcases Nushrratt's acting prowess but also underscores her commitment to telling stories that matter.
