Ranveer, during his acceptance speech, thanked Depp and said, "Wow! One of my screen idols is in the house, ladies and gentlemen, Mr Johnny Depp. My good Sir, I've followed your work since Edward Scissorhands and What's Eating Gilbert Grape. What an honour to be receiving this in your presence.”

The Padmavat star added, “Thank you for everything that you unknowingly taught me about the craft. Master of transformation, versatility, something that I am inspired by you."

A broad smile spread across Depp’s face at Ranveer's gesture. He repeatedly nodded his head while keeping his hand on his chest.
