Recently, Naseeruddin Shah has said that the award functions held these days do not matter to him. At the same time, all the awards he has received for his best performance are currently hanging on the doorknob of Naseeruddin Shah’s bathroom.
Naseeruddin Shah said very candidly that for him awards like Filmfare don’t matter at all. Naseeruddin Shah has a farm where all these prizes are hung on the toilet handle. These are all the awards the actor received for doing an excellent job in his films.
According to Lallantop, Naseeruddin Shah said, ‘These trophies are worthless to me, I was very happy when I got the first one. Then I kept receiving award after award. This happened at the beginning of my career. Then I came to know that these awards are the result of lobbying. You are not receiving them because of your job.
The actor further said, ‘So I kept them somewhere. Now again, when I got Padma Shri, Padma Bhushan, I was very much reminded of my father, who had passed away and was always worried that you would do this useless job. When I was in Rashtrapati Bhavan, I said Baba, are you looking or not? So they were watching and they were very happy. I’m happy about it, but I strongly hate the competitive award shows that happen.
‘Because any actor who has worked with his life is also the best actor. If you take a person out of the basket and say that she is the best, then how is she justified? Rather, I didn’t go for the last two I was getting. When I built the farmhouse, I thought we’re going to put them here so that whoever goes to the bathroom will take two. You have to open two Filmfare awards with both hands.
