In a grand evening dedicated to recognising inspiring journeys and strong performers, Zee Media Corporation hosted the 4th edition of ZEE Samvaad with Real Heroes 2026 at The Fairmont, Mumbai, on February 6. The prestigious platform celebrates individuals who have created a strong impact through their work, determination, and vision.
While ZEE Samvad has honoured many individuals before, this year, the spotlight also fell on the team of the much-anticipated film Border 2, as actor Ahan Shetty and producer Nidhi Dutta were honoured for their exceptional contributions to Indian cinema. Their recognition not only highlights their individual accomplishments but also focuses on the growing buzz surrounding the upcoming war drama.
Actor Ahan Shetty was honoured with the ‘Impact Performer of the Year’ award, recognising his strong screen presence and rising influence in Bollywood. Capturing the attention of millions with his strong performance, Ahan has proved himself as one of the industry’s most promising young actors. His role in Border 2 has generated excitement among fans and is expected to mark a significant step forward in his career.
Nidhi Dutta, on the other hand, received a special honour as ‘India’s First Woman War Filmmaker,’ a title that celebrates her pathbreaking contribution to the genre. Traditionally, being dominated by male filmmakers, Nidhi’s achievement comes as a powerful shift in the landscape of Indian cinema.
