Tuesday, 27th Jan 2015, 3:08 PM IST Shahrukh Khan has been quite regularly winning Best Actor awards at award functions every year. While the superstar is receiving Best Actor (Popular) for his performance in ‘Happy New Year’, there’s one upcoming award that has not nominated SRK and talking about it he admitted that he doesn’t deserve awards for ‘HNY’. The superstar said, "I haven't acted well enough. I don't think I should be nominated. I did one film last year and since I have hosted two shows I know there are seven or seventy other people who are better than me. I don't think I should be nominated for acting, for ‘Happy New Year’. Yes, the film has done very well but as an actor, I don't think I deserve to be nominated. " Talking about awards functions he said, “The way I look at it is different. If you see it critically, I would say no support is needed. But in the larger context you have to see what the parameter, the criteria is. If you are judging by popularity, then only four or five actors will get because they are popular. If you are judging offbeat films which we may not have seen and don’t fit in the popular culture, it’s different. Award functions, not only here, but across the world, are television events.” He also pointed out the difference in past award functions and the award functions that take place nowadays. SRK said, “Earlier there were some awards specifically about intense acting. When we went to these awards we would think this one was good in this film, it was a big hit also, so why didn’t he get it. Then at a popular awards function, we felt isne itni acchi acting ki, but he didn’t get. Now, what they have started doing is mixing everything. There is a Critics’ award, and there is a Popular award, plus there is Jodi, Tigdi, Ensemble Cast, etc.” SRK also revealed that some award functions introduce new awards just to maintain a good relationship with the actor. He said, “ Many a time, media houses have issues. If they have a good relationship with an actor and he is not getting the award, they try to remove the category as the relationship may get affected. If not, a new category is introduced! I have got several awards like that. One such award I remember getting is Global International Icon Superstar of the Universe! Then there are the sponsors who have their own awards like Fair and Beautiful, Tall award, Beauty award, etc. There is a commercial aspect to it, not in terms of money, but in terms of popularity. So, item number hoga, bada star bhi hoga, six performances, and a climax. Uske baad marketing bhi hogi and the success will depend on the ratings it garners. One can’t be too critical but enjoy it in that context. It’s a commercial TV media house event at the end of the day. I do commercial films, so can’t question it.” Now you can enjoy ad-free experience by downloading India’s first Box Office mobile app from here –Android:http://bit.ly/BOCapsuleMobileApp and iOS:bit.ly/BOCapsuleiOSApp |
