He will be receiving his awards from us shortly.
Thank you for all your love and support. Sincerely,

HCA went on to elaborate on the response NTR’s publicist had when asked about his availability for the event.

“He was originally shooting a movie which is why he couldn’t attend. His brother passing happened afterwards and is why he stepped away from the movie. This is what his publicist told us.” HCA tweeted.
