Kanika Dhillon Nabs the ‘Best Story for an Original Film’ Gong for Do Patti at the IIFA Digital Awards 2025—Because Apparently, We Reward Creativity Now!

Gather around, my Bollywood-loving bandwagoners, because today I bring you a tale from the glitzy world of film awards and unexpected victories!

Picture this: our very own Kanika Dhillon, that scriptwriting wizard behind gems like Manmarziyaan, Haseen Dillruba, and Raat Akeli Hai, has just bagged the prestigious Best Story (Original) award at IIFA 2025. 🎉 Now, before you start clapping, let me add a sprinkle of surprise here—this accolade was for her maiden production venture, Do Patti. Yes, you heard it right!

Do Patti, a delightful blend of comedy and drama, stars the fabulous Kriti Sanon in the lead role. And guess what? It’s lounging comfortably on Netflix, waiting for you to hit play.

Now, let me take you behind the scenes: Kanika, in her own charmingly modest way, gushed about how this award was the cherry on top of her creative sundae. She wasn’t even expecting it! Imagine being surprised by a trophy when you’re just trying to make a movie. It’s like finding extra fries at the bottom of your fast-food bag, but, you know, shinier and more prestigious.

Nisha’s Nutshell: In the world of Bollywood, where drama isn’t just on the screen, never underestimate the power of a good story—or a surprise award. And remember darlings, expect the unexpected. After all, in Bollywood, much like life, we’re all just one plot twist away from a standing ovation! 🎬✨
