'Chandu Champion' earns Aaryan Best Actor
Aaryan made history on July 18 by winning his first National Film Award, sharing Best Actor honors with Mammootty.
His role as Murlikant Petkar in Chandu Champion tells the inspiring story of a man who served in the Indian Army and overcame injury to win India's first Paralympic gold in 1972.
After the win, Aaryan said it was a dream come true on social media, and you could really feel how much it meant to him.
