Was just looking at these two pages. SRK almost has no competition when it comes to felicitations and awards. He even got the best citizen award as well as Padma Shree in 2005. Its quite an impressive list. How come Salman who has been ruling the box office leads all the records when it comes to numbers is trailing behind so badly?
