On receiving the award, Davar said: "I'm very happy to be honoured with this because as a teacher, I'm so happy that my Shahid Kapoor, Sushant Singh Rajput, Boman Irani, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and everybody who has been with me for so many years have really gone forward in their careers. So for me, it's a very big honour and I'm very grateful."
