It was a day to remember for many
Bollywood celebrities like
Kangana Ranaut,
Karan Johar,
Adnan Sami and
Ekta Kapoor who were recently conferred with
Padma Shri Awards for their contribution in the field of performing arts. Elated with the honour, fans of the actress shared a video of the actress where she is seen thanking the Indian Government and her fans for the exemplary honour bestowed upon her.
Check out the video here:
In the video, the actress said, “I’m humbled and I’m honoured. I am grateful to the Indian government, my fans and friends. I thank my country for this recognition and I dedicate this to every woman who dares to dream. To every daughter... to every mother... and to the dreams of women who will shape the future of our country.”
Karan Johar, on the other hand, shared a heartfelt post on his social media handles with his followers. His note read, “It’s not very often that I’m at a loss for words, but this is one such occasion. The Padma Shri... such an honour to receive one of the highest civilian awards in the country. (I am) Overwhelmed by so many emotions right now. (I am) Humbled, elated and also thankful for the opportunity to live my dream every day, to create and to entertain. I know my father would be proud and I wish he was here to share this moment with me.”

Ekta Kapoor too took to her social media handles to thank the Government and her fans who said she was “overwhelmed” and “emotional” by the honour. She wrote, “Overwhlemed and emotional. My foray into the industry started when I was just 17. I constantly heard I was too young, too raw and it was too soon to make things happen. Through the years, I have realised it is never too soon to live out your dreams and being too young is probably the best thing. Today, as I am conferred with the 4th highest civilian honour, Padmshri, I’m humbled. I hope to continue breaking boundaries, to continue giving young talent a chance and to strive to give back to the country all the love that’s come my way. The timing couldn’t be more perfect as the news comes 2 days before my son’s first birthday. Grateful and thankful”

I am overwhelmed with infinite gratitude for being honoured with the ‘Padma Shri’ by the Government of India. It has been a 34 years musical journey..
‘Bohot Shukriya’!!”
