Kiara thanks Mahesh Babu & Namrata

At the Zee Cine Awards event held on Sunday, Kiara Advani won the ‘Best Find of the year’ award for her performance in ‘Bharat Ane Nenu’.  

“No amount of words will be enough to tell you how grateful I am for all the love you’ll have showered me with, for your support and instant acceptance. You’ll make me want to work harder and be the best version of myself. ‘BAN’ will always be my most memorable film as it brought me closer to you,” the ‘Vinaya Vidheya Rama’ actress said, thanking Mahesh Babu and Namrata Shirodkar for bringing her into the Telugu film industry.  It was Namrata who first felt that Kiara should debut in Telugu after she watched her performance in ‘MS Dhoni’.  

She also thanked Koratala Siva for believing in her.
