yeh i dunno...im on the fence on this..

he has contributed immensely to the film industry but im not sure if its deserving of a Bharat Ratna...a Padma Vibushan for sure...but looking at the illustrious list of bharat ratnas like Satyajit ray, Mother teresa, Indira gandhi,Jawaharlal nehru, Gulzarilal nanda, Amarthya sen, BR ambedkar, Abdul Kalam, Ravi shankar, CV raman...he dosent quite fit into that bracket of legends for me...
but maybe thts just me.

As I see this headline "I don't deserve a Bharat Ratna", the 1st related topic is Saif saying "I deserve Padma Shree"

Love how humble and grounded Big B is. Respect! Wish him a happy birthday.

he might deserve a lot of things...but no Bharat Ratna please... ab itn a bhi mahan kaam nahin kiya hai... he has just acted in some hit hindi movies for God's sake! By the virtue of his popularity he had the power and potential to do a lot of things but he hasnt... he might be doing silent charities and all but so do so many people...alll of them dont get bharta ratna!

In India deserving one doesn't get his/her due.

*sigh* Naseeruddin Shah is still a Padma Shri

True...previous recipients from the film industry like Satyajit ray and Lata mangeshkar countributed much more to the country and its artistic heritage...Satyajit ray was one of the first few filmmakers to recieve recognition from film festivals internationally...in a way, he put indian cinema on the world map...and Lata mangeshkar is someone whos been singing since the 50s and is instrumental in the shaping up of hindi music in india.

Big B no way comes under that bracket.

national award is a different thing...its for artistic excellence alone. If ur the best performance in the country tht year, u get an award.

Padma shri,Padma vibhusan, Bharat Ratna etc are Civilian honours given to people who have made a great contribution to the country in their field of work like arts, sciences, social work etc...they need to perform a "service" to the country to receive such an award.
