Aamir Khan Breaks His Silence on Reality of Bollywood Award Shows and Why He Refuses to Accept Accolades

Aamir Khan does not dodge challenging questions. He doesn't mince words and opens up on issues that many B-town celebs would choose to keep mum on. Excited to take his latest production Rubaru Roshni, a documentary that signifies the power of forgiveness, to as many people as possible, Aamir is likely to send the film for Oscar nominations. When asked why he refuses to accept popular award shows, Aamir answered, "I like the idea of meeting people of the industry and celebrate each other's work, but awards should come from those who are better than you at the craft. Such people should be on Jury to felicitate you with Awards,"

The actor added, "If Dilip saab (Dilip Kumar) appreciates your film, it is an honour. If Raj Kumar saab walks up to you and congratulates you for your acting or for the film you have made. Ye log aakar bolein ki mujhi tumhari film acchi lagi or mujhe tumhara kaam accha laga toh you feel appreciated. The members on the jury (on these awards) should be more experienced or someone who knows movie and art better than you. Then you can receive the awards," maintained Aamir. Rubaru Roshni: Aamir Khan's Film is an Experience of a Lifetime, Believes Twitterati.

We quizzed the 53-year-old actor if he can offer solutions to bring more clarity and credibility to these awards, Aamir started flashing a smile in a rather dismissive way. "No yaar, main ye sab kahan karoon? My job is to make movies," he concluded.

For now, Aamir's film is being hailed as an experience of a lifetime as declared by the Twitterati. The actor's critics and fans are busy gushing about his great work and why learning forgiveness is the need of the hour.
