Vijay Varma on winning 'best actor' award at for 'Dahaad' at IFFM: I dedicate this award to Reema Kagti

Vijay Varma, one of the most talented actors in the industry currently has always delivered the most challenging roles and how! His acting skills are commendable and he is definitely a fans favourite!

Recently, he was invited for the Indian Film Festival in Melbourne which is the largest annual festival of the Indian cinema outside of India. He was the only actor to be nominated in two categories for his phenomenal performance- ‘Best Actor Films’ and ‘Best Actor Web series’. For his outstanding portrayal of Anand Swarnakar in Dahaad, the actor won the award for the ‘Best actor for web series- Male!’ 

After receiving the award, he gave a speech and wittily spoke about how he always takes something home from the sets of his films/shows. From this particular set he didn’t take anything! And now, he’s taking this lovely award! He said " Thank you so much. Thank you IFFM for honouring me and my work in Darlings, sorry Dahaad. Sorry guys its not my mistake I was nominated in both the categories. Just a humble flex. So I would like to dedicate my award to my director Reema Kagti and Ruchika Oberoi who thought of this incredible devil of a character and thought of me to play it. I first was very angry with them for approaching me for this part but eventually i realised theres so much more to this story than serial killer. I finished shooting and i take something from the set, I take a memory from the set but with this i was like I don't want to take anything back home. There's no way. But I'm glad that today I am taking this award for Dahaad and I share this with my family.
