SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus ‘RRR’ won two Critics Choice awards – Best Foreign Language Film and Best Song for ‘Naatu Naatu’ on Sunday night. During his acceptance speech, the director credited the many women in his life for his success.

Several of Rajamouli's fans and also actor Kangana Ranaut reacted to his speech which ended with ‘Jai Hind’.

The video of Rajamouli's speech was shared by the official Twitter handle of ‘RRR’, captioned, ‘RRR won the BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM award at the #CritcsChoiceawards. Here’s @ssrajamouli acceptance speech!! Mera Bharath Mahaan #RRRMovie.’

In his acceptance speech, Rajamouli said, ‘To all the women in my life, my mother Rajnandani, she thought school education was overrated and she encouraged me to read comics and story books and she encouraged my creativity. My sister-in-law Sreevalli, who became like a mother to me, she always encourages me to be the best version of myself. My wife Rama, she is a costume designer of my films but more than that she is the designer of my life. If she is not there, I am not here today. To my daughters, they don't do anything, just there smile is enough to light my life up.’

Sharing the video of the filmmaker’s speech on her Instagram Stories, Kangana Ranaut wrote, ‘Since Indians are declared the highest earning/most successful community in the USA and most places to be honest, many are wondering how do we do this even after starting from a scratch…most of it comes from our strong family system…we really get a lot of emotional + financial + mental support from our families…and families are build, nurtured and glued together by women.’
