“You had to choose people with different hairstyles to give me an award,” he said as everyone burst into laughter, “I just want to let these gentlemen know- there are only two kinds of men… baldies and future baldies!” Presenting the award to him were producer Kumar Taurani and Avinash Mudaliar, CEO and co-founder of OTTPlay.
The 70-year-old, whose latest release is Tumko Meri Kasam, further added, “It is always wonderful to get an award, especially when you work hard. Both my films- Vijay 69 and Signature were poles apart. I am doing my best work in the last five-six years now. Till this point, you are always wanting to do the best…then you discover you are doing this for yourself. I make my boundaries different.”
Not just this, Anupam again went on stage a second time, and gave a mini masterclass, enacting an emotional scene from his film Saaransh (1984)
