Beti Hindustan Ki director Rahul Khan has expressed his happiness about winning the award. Khan says, "I'm very happy that I got the Dadasaheb Phalke Indian Television Award for my first film. It's a dream of every actor or director to win this award. I've achieved my first dream with this award. I would like to thank Akhilesh Singh who informed me about this honour and praised me for my social film that I made at such a young age. I feel proud of myself and want to thank my parents who always supported my dream. It's a struggle of 11 years that you has finally paid off."


Khan further adds, "It's a huge award in Bollywood. I will always keep making such good movies that give an impactful message to the society. Again, I would like to thank my parents, my grandfather and elder brother who always believed in my dreams. My elder brother Faisal Khan lives in the USA but he has always been a great support in my career. The award has become more special because I got it on the same day when Faisal Khan got honoured with Dadasaheb Phalke Indian Television Award 2021 in the category of International Actor & Producer. I'm quite elated.

And we will release a film *Insaniyat* very soon on the OTT platform
