He was presented the award by Jhataleka Malhotra and Fawad’s co-star in the film, Sonam Kapoor. Sonam herself has been nominated for the best actor-female in a leading role award. He thanked Anil Kapoor, Khoobsurat's producer Rhea Kapoor, Disney Productions along with the entire cast and crew of Khoobsurat.
“You guys are the instrument of my success. It is beautiful to get love from people in India and Pakistan.”
He beat off competition from the likes of Tahir Raj Bhasin (Mardaani), Tiger Shroff (Heropanti), Sharib Hashimi (Filmistaan) and Freddy Daruwala (Holiday) to win the award.
Fawad becomes the first Pakistani to win the Filmfare awards in the actor category.
The Filmfare awards are one of the oldest and most prominent film related awards in India.
Prior to receiving the award, Fawad, who looked dapper in a grey Dior suit with a pin striped waist coat, said on the red carpet that he was excited to be attending his first Filmfare event. He said that he was having a bit of a "fan-struck moment" for being among the creme of Bollywood's stars at probably the most prestigious film event in the region.

@Arjun Singh: only fools and peoples who like to be hero or so called peace believe this free the kashmir your .8 million indans dogs are occupied our land first free us then its peace for you and us till then enjoy the attacks
@Ishan: Ishan, many Indian film shows are shown on Pak channels, not live but after few weeks since you have no idea how popular Indian films and music are here. The only fight that takes place within Pakistani and Indians are on these social forums only. I hope it remains that way. I hope peace prevails forever!
Bad headline, it should have been Fawad, becomes the first Pakistani to win a filmfare award.
Pak actors r better off in Pak .
Indian government should give honorary citizenship to all such Pakistani actors who win Filmfare awards. Who knows Fawad turns out to be the next Dilip Kumar. Congratulations Fawad.
Will Filmfare awards be shown in Pakistan???
Congrats Fawad. Filmfare award is no joke. Its most coveted award after national award. Shahid won for best actor Haider.
Thank you Quaid E Azam for giving us a separate nation........see how India treats its minorities, especially Pakistanis......
India has the right to fire at terrorists who cross the international border after trained by laskar E Taiba , Jaish E Mohammad , Hizbul Muzahideen
See India doesn't discriminate. If one attacks, one has to defend, but you come with love and respect you will get the same here.
