Veteran star Kamal Haasan was also among the many who wished the kid star well. He posted the message on his X, in which he mentioned, “Dear Ms. Treesha Thoshar, my bravest applause is for you. You’ve surpassed my record, as I was already six when I won my first award! Way to go, madam. Keep working on your amazing talent. My thanks to your elders in the house.”
Treesha also showed her delight on getting the National Film Award. In an interview with news agency ANI, she said, “I am very happy that the President congratulated me,” showing her elation at having met President Droupadi Murmu and receiving the award from her. The young actress, on her Instagram account, posted photographs from the award show, where she met a few seasoned actors, terming it “unforgettable and joyous moments.”
