Elated on receiving the award, Rohan told India Forums: "It's a very prestigious award and it's my first award of the year 2016. I hope for many more to come. It's a great feeling to receive this prestigious award; I feel privileged. Karan and I were from the same show and it was a great feeling to receive an award along with him."

Excited about receiving the best actress award, Radhika told the entertainment portal: "To be very honest, I never thought that I will bag an award for the best actress in my very first year with my very first show.
