Mumbai’s glitzy Iconic Gold Awards ceremony turned into a heartfelt celebration for veteran actor Anupam Kher. Honored for his 550th film in Hindi cinema, ‘Tanvi the Great’, Kher couldn’t hide his joy as the movie bagged the Best Film award. The actress portraying Tanvi also walked away with the Best Actress trophy, marking yet another milestone for this deeply personal project.
Kher, who both directed and produced the film, took to social media to express his gratitude. Sharing photos from the event, he penned an emotional note: ‘This is a moment of immense joy for all of us who believed in this story of courage, kindness, and quiet strength. Awards are beautiful, but the real reward is the journey – the rehearsals, doubts, tears, laughter, and the unbreakable faith of a team that stood like family.’
‘Tanvi the Great’ draws inspiration from Kher’s niece, who lives with autism. The actor has often shared glimpses of her remarkable singing talent on social media, captivating fans worldwide.

Exciting news for fans: ‘Tanvi the Great’ is set for an OTT release soon. While the platform and exact date remain under wraps, anticipation is building. Kher’s passion project not only highlights underrepresented voices but also showcases his evolution as a filmmaker. As Bollywood continues to embrace meaningful cinema, films like this pave the way for more authentic storytelling.
