SIIMA 2024: Anand Deverakonda bags Best Actor Critics Award for his role in ‘Baby’

Anand Deverakonda was awarded the Best Actor Critics Award for his moving performance in the film Baby at the SIIMA Awards in Dubai. The young actor received the honor from none other than hero Rana Daggubati.

During his acceptance speech, Anand expressed his gratitude and reflected on his journey: “Nani Anna once said that ‘life comes full circle,’ and I see that happening now. My brother Vijay received his first SIIMA Award from Rana, and today, Rana is handing me my first SIIMA. Baby has been a game-changer for our entire team, and I’m thankful to everyone involved, including SKN Anna. When I entered the industry, people often asked if I was just following in Vijay’s footsteps. While there may have been some truth to that, I believe this SIIMA Award is the perfect answer. I’m overwhelmed by the love for My Baby, especially seeing it resonate with audiences, even here at the Dubai Mall. As long as there are cinema lovers, I will continue to act.”

Baby has undoubtedly marked a pivotal moment in Anand Deverakonda’s career, with his portrayal of a heartbroken lover striking a chord with audiences. The Best Actor Critics Award at SIIMA affirms his dedication and talent, motivating him to pursue even more exciting projects in the future.
