Abhishek tweeted, "And the Mrs. is awarded the Meryl Streep award for excellence at WIFT. The little one gives her a congratulatory hug, and I look on (to the photo) a very proud husband!"

 

Currently, Abhishek is on a promotional spree for his upcoming film Manmarziyaan with Vicky Kaushal and Taapsee Pannu.

Aishwarya also shared a few pictures from the event. In one of the images, the 44-year-old is seen hugging Aaradhya, while standing along with other awardees. She donned an embellished black fishtail gown at the ceremony. Aaradhya looked cute in a pink dress.

Aishwarya posted pictures of Aaradhya and her, while receiving the trophy, and wrote: “You, my Aaradhya complete me. Divine Blissful Eternal love.”

Besides Aishwarya, Bollywood filmmaker Zoya Akhtar received the Wyler Award for Excellence in Direction, and Janhvi Kapoor was also honoured with the WIFT Emerald Award. 

 

Janhvi Kapoor too oozed elegance in a knee-length rose pink Reem Acra off-shoulder dress.

 

Take a look at a few pictures from the award ceremony.
