Amitabh Bachchan's note of appreciation for Aahana Kumra

Amitabh Bachchan and Aahana Kumra

Amitabh Bachchan and Aahana Kumra teamed up in the 2014 television series, Yudh. Six years later, Big B was among the first to congratulate her for her win at the Asian Academy Creative Awards.

Aahana Kumra bagged the Best Actress in a Lead Role award for her performance in the web series, Marzi. The veteran superstar posted, "Very proud of you. It was a privilege having you as a colleague and co-artiste." Kumra had two reasons to rejoice - her win and the words of encouragement from Bachchan.

Aahana was quick to respond and wrote, "This means everything to me @SrBachchan sir!! It's been an honour for me to begin my career with you and I promise to always keep working like you all your life! Thank you so much sir! You're a super human!! Indebted forever! @VootSelect #Marzi @AsianAcademyCr1 [sic]." Here's a look at their Twitter conversation:

Ecstatic about her big win at the 2020 Asian Academy Creative Awards, Aahana Kumra said, "When I read the script of Marzi, I immediately knew it would emerge to be a game changer. The character of Sameera Chauhan will always be closest to my heart. This is a milestone win for me and it simply wouldn't have been possible without the love from my fans and support from the entire cast and crew of Marzi. I would like to thank Rajeev for being a phenomenal co-star, Radhika Anand for penning this marvellous script, Anil Sir and of course Bodhi Tree Productions for bringing this fabulous concept to life. And last but not the least, a big thank you to Voot Select for giving me a fantastic platform to showcase my talent. I look forward to delivering more of such impactful performances and will continue to dedicate myself to each character that I bring alive on screen."

Taking to her Twitter account and talking about winning the award Aahana wrote, "Thank you for giving me the opportunity to play Sameera Chauhan in #MarziOnVoot ! Always indebted to you
@VootSelect #Bodhitreemultimedia ! Thanks @RK1610IsMe for being the best and thank you @AsianAcademyCr1 for recognising my work and awarding me!! #AACA2020 #Marzi [sic]."
