Presumably the government has a "quota" for awards.
The government in its wisdom, also completely bypassed the two boxers from Haryana (Sushil Kumar and Vijendra)who got Olympic 2008 Bronzes.
But Aisharway Rai, gets a Padma Shri, for completely unkown reasons. Harbhajan Singh, diito.
Fighting terrorists to death , Inspector Shinde, is not enough
For the country's award, you need connections and stuff,
If you're pretty, shake in movies,, and mostly smile,
They'll give you a Padma Shri award after a while,
And for Olympic Bronze winners, its even more tough.....
Dont think talent is really a criteria for these awards....u just shud be there in limelight for a while, market yourself well...and wait..in few years time...u have the award.
ReplyDeleteThey r as meaningless as those Lifetime achievement awards for movies. U really dont have do be an exceptional actor....all u need is just hang in there...without dieing & one day u will get it !
