Akshay Kumar has a fairly simple solution in mind for the controversy surrounding his recent National Award win. The actor won the award for his performance in Rustom. A section of the media and film fraternity had also slammed the National Award jury for its ‘biased decision’.
The actor finally responded to the issue at a recent event, and said:
“I have been working in the film industry for the last 25 years and I have noticed that every time whoever wins a National Award, the debate starts on who is deserving to win the award. I got it after 25 years. If you think I don’t deserve it, you can take it away.”
The actor was at the launch of an insurance scheme for stunt performers when he made these comments.
