Uhhh...no offense but...that last name in the actors doesnt really fit in there.
Without any bias, as of now, at this moment, that last should have gone to Saif.
No comparisons.

Some of the nominations are a bit odd. Abhi's name is a big surprise. Don't want to offend any fans but c'mon.....how is that one justified? 😳 you just know where some of these awards will be going...
