It was an evening of grand celebrations on November 30 as the biggest names in cinema and entertainment graced the Galatta Wonder Women Awards 2023 held at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium in Chennai. Among the leading names under the spotlight was leading South Indian actress Krithi Shetty, who was awarded the 'Youth Icon of South Indian Cinema' award by Priya Atlee. Expressing her happiness after winning the big accolade at the Galatta Wonder Women Awards 2023, the popular Telugu star said, "First of all, greetings to everyone, and thank you so much. You all have welcomed me in such a sweet and warm manner. It's really nice to be here. I feel so happy. And, this award is really special because this is the 'Youth Icon of South Indian Cinema' award. I've always really wanted to impact people's lives positively and I've been able to connect with the youth. So, it's really special to me, and thank you so much Galatta. Thank you so much Priya ma'am for presenting this award."
A trending meme was also shown to Krithi Shetty during the proceedings at the Galatta Wonder Women Awards 2023 which had her paired with Tamil superstar 'Thalapathy' Vijay. Reacting to the meme, the Uppena actress said, "I think I started this manifestation. I'm the original one who started this manifestation. To be honest, I think I saw it one day on Twitter and I was like, 'How did this come up?' Because it was beautiful when it came up. I was just thinking about it then. So, I started this, I think. But, it'll be beautiful and the most special thing if it happens."
Krithi Shetty also revealed that should probably get a commission for the success of the 'Bullet Song' in The Warriorr before joining leading Tamil actor Dhruv Vikram for a special dance performance at the Galatta Wonder Women Awards 2023. The Custody actress also stressed the message of drug abuse and said, "I went to two important events this year. One was to spread awareness and say 'No to drugs', which was for the youth. And, the other event was to support kids who are battling cancer. So, in the second event, I heard about the struggles that the little kids are facing to fight cancer. At that time, when I was thinking about the people who were throwing their lives away and doing drugs, I felt so bad. Because, in this world, there are people who give respect and importance to their lives, which should inspire all of us. They are facing huge struggles. We should be happy to exist and impact other people's lives with positivity and be kind to everyone."
