Raj Babbar surprises Aarya Babbar with a special honor at Zee Rishtey Awards 2025

The Zee Rishtey Awards 2025 returned with a dazzling celebration, and this year, the festival of colours—Holi—set the perfect backdrop for a night filled with love, passion, and unforgettable moments. Amidst the breathtaking performances and electrifying energy, one moment stood out as truly magical. Aarya Babbar, who has captivated audiences with his intense portrayal of Kalikant Thakur in Jagriti – Ek Nayi Subah, was honoured with the Best Villain trophy. But what made the moment extraordinary wasn’t just the award—it was who presented it to him. As the announcement echoed through the venue, an emotional hush fell over the crowd, setting the stage for an unforgettable spectacle that left everyone teary-eyed.

As the hall erupted in applause, Aarya stepped forward to accept his award—only to come to a stunned halt. Walking onto the stage, with a proud smile and an unmistakable presence, was his father, the legendary Raj Babbar. The moment felt like a scene straight out of a film—an icon of Indian cinema presenting his son with an award. It was a powerful reminder that an artist’s journey is even more meaningful when celebrated with family. Overwhelmed, Aarya’s fierce on-screen persona melted away, revealing not just an actor, but a son, deeply moved by his father’s love and recognition. His eyes brimmed with tears as he struggled to find the right words before finally embracing Raj Babbar in an emotional hug—a moment that would be etched in the hearts of everyone present.

Aarya Babbar said, “This moment is beyond any award—it’s a dream come true. To receive this recognition from my father, my mentor, my guiding light is something I will cherish for a lifetime. Every struggle, every sacrifice, every ounce of hard work feels worth it in this one moment. Standing here, holding this trophy, seeing the pride in his eyes means everything and something words cannot capture. I have grown up watching him inspire millions, and today, his presence here makes this victory even more special. This is not just my award; it is a celebration of the bond we share, a testament to the love and passion we breathe as a family of artists. Zee Rishtey Awards have made my connection with this recognition incredibly special.”

While Zee Rishtey Awards 2025 truly celebrated the power of relationships, Aarya’s heartfelt moment with his father stood as a testament to the magic of love, dreams, and family.
