I stand here as the youth icon of the year, and take the trophy in my hands. In the audience stand Divyashree maa and Aniruddh papa giving me a round of applause with a big smile. Now we request Ms. Vaishnavi Ashish Raichand to say a few words. I hear these words and speak over mic, "It has been three months since ashu passed away. But life doesn't stop by loss of any person. So what that person was apple of your eye, or your soul mate, or your only son, you have to live. Three of us live behind him as a family. He used to say, Vaishnavi life is beautiful and we enjoy its liveliness. Just never stop appreciating beauty. See ashu, I am appreciating beauty of this prize. Thank you audience, the people, the staff and of course mamma papa for all this support. I was supposed to be a pillar to you but you proved to be mine. All I have is tears of joy and I am missing you Dumbo. This was supposed to be yours."
