Erica Fernandes, who was last seen in the television show Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi 2, is thrilled to have received recognition for her character Sonakshi. The actress was recently awarded the prestigious Dadasaheb Phalke Award for being the best actress 2021 on Indian Television and it made her take to her social media account to express gratitude to her family, friends and fans.
Erica posted several photos wherein she can be seen with her friends and fans cutting a gorgeous cake specially brought to celebrate her big day.
Sharing the photos, Erica wrote, "It is an honor to receive the #dadasahebphalkeaward for a character so close to me. It feels worthwhile for all the efforts, heart, and soul I have put into shaping Sonakshi, of course with the help of my director and my co actors. As a kid, somebody once told me that one day someone would give you a platform to project your talent; what you do of it is in your hands. No one can make you or break you. It's up to you to work towards it and build yourself."
She added, "Personally, for me, it started as excitement, and then the enthusiasm grew so much that it turned into anxiety while I was receiving the award. ( and that happens every time I walk up to receive an award ) What was overwhelming was to see how thrilled people around me were! From my family and friends to my Ejfians and members of my society, all were very excited and had a scene of pride. I want to conclude by expressing how grateful I feel for the blessings and love I have and continue to receive from everyone. #thankyouforthelove #blessed #ericafernandes"
For the award function, Erica wore a gorgeous glittering black skirt and blouse. She sported a stylish jacket over. The actress tied her hair in a sleek bun and wore a beautiful choker with her outfit.
Congratulatory wishes for the actress have been pouring in for her from all quarters.
Erica has been a part of popular TV shows like Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi, Kasautii Zindagii Kay.
