Salman Khan might reign at the box-office, but when it comes to awards, the actor always gets short shrift. He’s in the Rs. 100 crore club, has been in the Hindi film industry for more than two decades, has a huge fan following, but he hasn’t won a single award for Best Actor.
Aamir Khan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Madhuri Dixit and Amitabh Bachchan are just among the few Bollywood personalities who have received the Padma Shri. While Sallu is more known for his masala roles, he has given poignant performances in films like Tere Naam, Phir Milenge and others. So has the actor been ignored at awards at the national level as well? Is Salman’s performance being overlooked because of his brush with crime? Does Salman Khan actually deserve a Padma Shri?
