Salim Khan on why he refused Padma Shri

India TV News  

New Delhi: Salim Khan, who turned down Padma Shri Award bestowed upon him by Indian Govt, finally opens up about the issue. Speaking to a leading daily, Salim Khan said, “I deserve more than a Padma Shri for my contributions to Hindi cinema, given that my juniors have already got it years before. It pains Salim that he and Javed shared six Filmfare Awards but when Javed got Padma Shri and Padma Bhushan no one remembered him. It is also noteworthy that this year Prasoon Joshi and Sanjay Leela Bhansali have also been conferred with Padma Shri and they are much junior to Salim Khan.
