Among them was the super talented Nawazuddin Siddiqui who was awarded Excellence In Cinema for his contribution and performances in the Hindi film industry. The actor’s movie repertoire is pretty impressive with many successful and critically acclaimed films to his credit. The actor showed his gratitude to his fans as well as Dubai for honoring him with such a prestigious award. 

On receiving the award Siddiqui said, “For an artist, there is no bigger reward than the audience giving you their love and appreciation for your work and I am glad to see people here in Dubai giving me so much of love. To receive an award among much vibrant audience here in Dubai is heartwarming to say the least.” Meanwhile, Nawazuddin is the only Indian actor nominated in the 'best performance by an actor’ category at the Emmy International Awards for ‘Serious Men’.
