Where Is Akshay Kumar ? He Won National Award For Rustom.

6 years ago

I have not watched any of these movies but I heard that Akshay won a national award for the movie Rustom? So how come he is not nominated when Sonam who also won a national award for Neerja is nominated for Actor in a lead role Female? I guess nominations have to be purchased? These award functions are a farce. I no longer even bother watching them.

Lol SRK's role is nomimated as negative? This shows that Indians can't get over the hero-villian shit anytime soon! When a character is not positive it doesn't make it negative either. Gaurav was not villian neither was Aryan! This movie had no hero no villian characters! Only one nomination for Best actor (SRK) would've made sense!

And where is Aamir and Akshay Kumar? Wtf these award shows are becoming so horrible and corrupt each year! Ugh!!!
