At the recently held OTTplay Awards 2022, Nimrat Kaur bagged the award for Best Debut Female (Film) for her performance in Dasvi. The award was presented by Jaideep Ahlawat and Prasad Sanyal.

In her acceptance speech, Nimrat said “Thank you for this lovely award and this lovely evening. I’m coming to an award outing after many many years, COVID included. Of course I have many people to thank. But being an actor today is probably one of the most exciting times, because you get to see such amazing, diverse, and incredible people and faces in the same room”.

The actress also seemed to have a ‘starstruck’ moment on stage as well, as she fawned over Raveena Tandon. “I’ve just seen Raveena Tandon ma’am for the first time in person in my life, and I’m quite stunned, it has to be said”, remarked Nimrat. She then went on to thank the team behind Dasvi.

The film had also won the award for Best Web Original Film (Jury). Dasvi was directed by debutant Tushar Jalota and also featured Abhishek Bachchan and Yami Gautam in lead roles. The film can be streamed on Netflix and Jio Cinema.
