Siddiqui, after receiving the award said, "For an artist, there is no bigger reward than the audience giving you their love and appreciation for your work and I am glad to see people here in Dubai giving me so much love. To receive an award among a much vibrant audience here in Dubai is heartwarming to say the least."

The actor has also been nominated at Emmy International Awards for Serious Men directed by Sudhir Mishra that released on Netflix last year. He is the only Indian actor nominated in the ‘best performance by an actor’ category for Emmy this year alongside Christian Tappan (The Great Heist), David Tennant (Des) and Roy Nik (Normali).
