Kader Khan Says Padma Awardee Anupam Kher's Done Nothing But Sing of PM Modi
byAyub Dawood
The debate over how awardees are selected may not have died down just yet, but Bollywood comedian Kader Khan just trolled the more contentious recepients.
The veteran actor and dialogue writer said that "flattering" around the bigwigs at Lutyens' Delhi might be a factor that made the difference.
He said:
"It's good that they did not give me a Padma Shri. I have neither flattered anyone in my life, nor will I ever. I don't want these awards if they have been given to people (in the industry) who got it this time."

The Padma awardee list this year included names like Rajnikanth, Priyanka Chopra and Madhur Bhandarkar. However, the giving of the award to Anupam Kher, who accepted it gleefully despite having earlier criticised the Padma awards as being biased, got everyone talking about the criteria.
The versatile actor also said that while there was honesty in awards earlier, nowadays people have become selfish and there is a lack of respect, reported The New Indian Express.
He said:
"An award is a no big thing, but its importance lies in the people it has been conferred upon".
