Actor Aamir Khan, who is known for avoiding film awards finally broke his rule on Monday night and attended a ceremony where he was honoured with the Pandit Deenanath Mangeshkar Award.
“This is a huge honour for me, director Nitesh Tiwari and the entire team of Dangal. I am very thankful to Lata Mangeshkar and Deenanath Mangeshkar Trust and entire Mangeshkar family,” said the actor.
“A film gets its birth from its writer. This film has garnered so much love and support all over India, and it’s because of Tiwari. He wrote the script of this film and made a brilliant movie out of it.
“Whatever I achieved today in the film industry is all because of writers and directors who have given me [an] opportunity to be a part of their films and work with them,” Khan added while attending 75th Master Deenanath Mangeshkar awards in Mumbai.
Khan also received the Vishesh Puraskar award along with Vyjanthimala and former Indian cricket team captain Kapil Dev.
On work front, Khan will soon be seen in Vijay Krishna Acharya’s Thugs of Hindostan along with Amitabh Bachchan.
