While this is sweet, I wish Karan would also acknowledge other talented newcomers who don't come from film families. The industry needs more diverse opportunities.

Can't believe it's been over 10 years since SOTY! Time flies. All three have carved their own paths. Varun's comedy timing, Alia's versatility, Sidharth's dedication - each unique!

Interesting to see how the Indian film industry works. In Hollywood, directors don't usually maintain such close relationships with actors they launch. Different culture!
