Prajakta Koli Shares Excitement After Receiving The Honour
Sharing her excitement and gratitude, Prajakta Koli shared a post on Instagram with a caption, "There's so much I should be feeling right now, and even more I should be saying. But honestly, in this moment, only two words come to mind: thank you. Thank you to my audience, for showing up, for believing, for staying. Thank you to my family, for standing beside me through every messy, magical moment. Thank you to my team for being my rock."
"And thank you to 21-year-old Prajakta, who dove headfirst into storytelling as a creator with no plan, no prep, no roadmap… just heart. Just instinct. Just the love for stories. So yes, thank you. I guess that's all there is to say. And maybe, it's everything." she added.
