When Bollywood actors opened up about awards
Earlier, stars like Naseeruddin Shah, Kangana Ranaut, and Salman Khan opened up about how they see awards and awards shows. In an interview in June, the veteran actor Shah had said he was never proud of the awards he received for Akrosh, Chakra, and Masoom. I did not even go collect the last two awards I received. So, when I built a farmhouse I decided to put these awards there. Whoever goes to the washroom will get two awards each as the handles are made of the Filmfare awards," the actor said.
Kangana Ranaut, in Aap Ki Adalat show with Rajat Sharma, had called the awards function 'fraud.'
