Post her big win, Alia took to her Instagram handle to express gratitude to her 'Gangubai' team and her family. Alia shared a series of pictures from yesterday's event. In one of the pictures, she can be seen being all smiles as she flaunts her black lady that she won in the Best Actress category.
Alia wrote, "The day we wrapped Gangubai Kathiawadi, with shaking hands and heavy hearts, I remember telling my wonderful crew. “No matter the outcome, just the experience of shooting the film, learning and growing under the guidance of Sanjay sir - that's my blockbuster.”
I left that set a different person - and that was ONLY because of this amazing team!"
Talking about her character 'Gangu' and expressing her gratitude to director Sanjay Leela Bhansali, she added further, "Gangu .. meri jaan .. my alter ego, belongs to you Sanjay sir. Thank you for believing in me, so I could believe in myself. I will forever be in your debt!
I’ve always said you make the world believe in magic - and if on this journey I can be even half as hard working, half as dedicated and driven as you - I will consider myself very fortunate!"
Alia also thanked the entire team and the audience for all the love and faith in her. She wrote, "To my audience - my fans, my family! Thank you for being my constant inspiration to do better. Always.
My whole team, I am me, only because of you. You keep me in one piece."
She concluded the note by thanking her husband Ranbir Kapoor and her family members. "And last but not the least! My beautiful family that grounds me and keeps me steady - Mama, Papa, Tanna I love you .. my other mom — my mom-in-law & my father-in-law up there whose blessing is always with me. My gorgeous husband, for hearing me rant about my day for hours and motivating me whenever I was down and out! And my baby girl, who wasn’t there at the time, but I will continue to thank for the rest of my life for the joy and peace she brings to me ♥♥♥
Eternally grateful 🌙🌙"
