Accepting the award, Rahman said, "I don't like to watch my interviews again. She keeps playing again and again and watching because she loves my voice." The host then asked Saira to speak. Before she could address the audience, Rahman teased her to speak in Tamil instead of Hindi as she is not fluent in Tamil.

I am super, super happy and excited because his voice is my favourite. I fell in love with his voice. That's all I can say," Saira said.
