Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan was conferred with the prestigious Dadasaheb Phalke Award by the President of India. He was unable to attend earlier National Film Awards function due to health issues . He received the award at a special ceremony held on Sunday at the Rashtapati Bhavan by President Ram Nath Kovind.
The mega bollywood star Amitabh had said, “When this award was announced, a doubt arose in my mind: if this is an indication for me to sit at home and relax after working for so many years? There is some more work I have to finish and certain possibilities are coming up where I may get a chance to do some work. I just wanted some clarification on this.”
Sr. Bachchan also stated, “God has been kind, there have been blessings of my parents, the support of the filmmakers, producers, co-actors from the industry, but I’m most indebted to the love and constant encouragement by the Indian audience. That’s the reason I’m standing here. I accept this award with utmost humility and gratitude.”
