Siddhant Chaturvedi dedicates his 'Dhadak 2' award to late Saksham Tate

Mumbai, Dec 6 (UNI) Bollywood actor Siddhant Chaturvedi recently dedicated his award for "Dhadak 2" to the late Saksham Tate, a young man who lost his life to honour-based violence.
Siddhant, who won the hearts of both the audience and critics by playing the character of Nilesh in his last film 'Dhadak 2', was recently honoured with the Power Packed Performer of the Year award for this role, which he dedicated to the late Saksham Tate, who was a victim of inter-caste honour killing.
In his acceptance note, Siddhant highlighted the late Saksham Tate, who lost his life to an inter-caste honour killing, and wove his tribute into a powerful message: "This award... isn't just mine. It belongs to everyone who has ever been outcast, pushed aside, discriminated against yet still found the strength to stand up, fight back, and claim their right to simply exist. And lastly, I dedicate this to the late Saksham Tate... survived by his family and by Aanchal. My heart goes out to you."
He further expressed gratitude to director Shazia Iqbal (@shaz.3.0) for protecting the film "through every storm," and to writer Rahul Badwelkar, who "turned silence into truth" through his words.
With his deep and personal dedication, Siddhant not only used his moment of recognition to give voice to stories of real injustice, but also to send a message that stories like "Dhadak 2" must continue to be told with courage, compassion and unflinching honesty.
Looking ahead, Siddhant is set to appear alongside Mrunal Thakur in "Do Deewane Sheher Mein", scheduled for release on February 20, a romantic tale set against the backdrop of the 1990s.
