Actor Bhagyashrii Borse, who recently played the female lead in Akhil Akkineni's Lenin, broke down at the success meet of her film, expressing her gratitude to fans for their constant motivation and support, which she said was what had made her stand on the stage.
She began her speech by thanking her director Murli Kishore. "I am feeling very emotional today. So please forgive me, I am going to speak from my heart. I am going to talk in English. I want to start with talking about the person because of whom I am here today, my director Murli Kishore sir. If you didn't give me Bharti, I wouldn't be getting this appreciation today. If you hadn't given me the space and if you hadn't put me up there as Bharti, I wouldn't have gotten the appreciation that I have gotten today. So thank you so much, I will always be grateful to you sir," she shared and then later went on to appreciate her co-star Akhil.
Acknowledging his hard work in the industry, she said, "Even though I may not know your journey of these past 10 years, I know what it might feel like when things don't work out. I have seen you work so hard right beside me, I have seen you put blood, sweat, tears. I have not seen you sit even for a second, making sure everything was going right. So I think you deserve so much love, I told you that on tenth, love will be coming and it's come. You have arrived Akhil. So, I am very excited. I don't know what our next script is going to be but I can't wait for it. I can't wait to act beside you because you are a performer."
After having thanked the other members of the Lenin team, Bhagyashrii finally thanked her fans for their constant encouragement. "It's been a journey, it's been a journey of one-and-a-half years and every time that I have fallen, it's the messages of my fans, the reels, the constant motivation you guys have shown me. Because of which I am here today," she said as she became emotional and broke down on stage.
"I just want to say one thing and that is Hyderabad is my Karmabhoomi and I wish that my last film is also here. Thank you so much," she said, signing off.
Lenin began with close to Rs 10 crore at the box office on its opening day on Friday, a massive feat for the stars and the team. The ensemble cast also includes Sunil, Sivaji, Brahmaji, Sudarshan, and Getup Srinu. The film has cinematography by Naveen Kumar, music by Thaman and editing by Navin Nooli.
