Zayed Khan from New York said, "My activities and humanitarian activities during the Covid period have come to their attention. Because they asked me for mail about my activities earlier, I sent them. They wanted to know about my film work. Also, I am an actor, so they nominated me."

He also said, "I am overwhelmed by the honor given to me at the United Nations Headquarters, I will try to retain this honor. It is a rare honor. I really still can't believe it. I dedicated this achievement to my country."

A dinner was organized after the prize giving and honoring ceremony. Only those invited by the United Nations were present there. Apart from the 40 awardees, the ambassadors of different countries of the world were present at the event.
