Later, Bhatt shared some snippets from the day and her impressive speech on the gram, with a thought-provoking note. She wrote, “There are so many rules these days – especially for women.”
“Don’t be loud. But don’t be timid. Don’t be too curvy. But don’t be too skinny. Have ambition. But don’t overreach. Be confident. But not cocky,” read the note.

“There are so many rules that knowingly or unknowingly we think in order to be liked, to be loved, to be good, we have to be completely devoid of fault – an impossible, mythical being that could only really exist in the pages of a fairytale.”
“But over the last ten years I’ve come to fully realise something I subconsciously knew all along. Perfection is boring. It’s the flaws that make you, YOU.”
The shared clip had a few bits of her acceptance speech as well, where she said, “I want to take a moment with you all to celebrate my flaws along with my strengths.”

She continued, “For example, I’m terrible at spelling but I do know what to say to someone who is vulnerable. My general knowledge is widely known to be weak but my emotional intelligence is something I have worked really hard to cultivate.”
“I have a tendency to be hard on myself with regard to my weight and my appearance but I never say no to french fry, because you know, YOLO.”
“And lastly, when it comes to making an impact, I hope I can continue to do so in whatever way possible. But for now, tonight, this award has genuinely made an impact on me—me and my little one, who has relentlessly kicked me throughout this speech,” concluded the ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’ actor at the Singapore ceremony. “Thank you so much.”
