I Don't Deserve Padma Sri -Rajamouli
on Jan 26, 2016
"I dont know what to say. It is quite a mixed feeling. Very frankly i don't feel I deserve the honour. This is not humility", says Rajamouli, reacting on the "Padma Sri" award conferred to him. In the wake of many critics blasting Government Of India, as to why they have given award to Rajamouli who never made any artistic film in his life, probably Rajamouli's reaction is stunning.
In other words, the "Baahubali" director also said: "I am quite aware of my achievements. But i haven’t created any artistic brilliance that deseves this honour. Awarding Ramoji rao garu and Rajanikanth garu with Padma Vibhushan is so apt. Their work created a lasting impression that will reflect even on generations to come. It makes me even more humbled to share the occasion with such stalwarts. But cant deny that it also makes me so happy and proud to be with them".
Anyway, it's a honour for Telugu industry to see a stalwart like Rajamouli conferred such honour.
