Shreya's Post-Win Statement: "This Trophy Belongs to Content Creators"

"This trophy doesn't belong to me alone; it belongs to all of us. People constantly try to put you down saying, 'You're an outsider, you're a content creator, you haven't worked in the industry.' We all work hard to fulfill our dreams... You all faced criticism for me and fought with the whole world for me. And yes, this was the Shreya Kalra show."
