Salim Khan Declines to Recieve Padma Shri<br /><br />Screenwriter Salim Khan has declined to receive the Padma Shri award saying it didn’t match his status and the body of work. “For years, the central government has ignored me, honouring a number of my peers as well as juniors in the industry. Some three days ago, when I heard that my name is on the Padma awards list, I thought that I’m finally getting what I deserve. But when I came to know that the ministry has chosen me for Padma Shri, I felt it does not match my status and work,” said the 79-year-old writer, who received a call from the Union Home Ministry on Sunday informing him about the award. - See more at: http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-others/salim-khan-declines-padma-shri/#sthash.ZBF50Swy.dpuf<br /><br />Subscribe to Bombay Times Youtube channel here: http://goo.gl/AdXcgU<br /><br />Also Subscribe to Times Of India’s Youtube Channel here : http://goo.gl/WgIatu<br /><br />Social Media Links: <br />Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/bombaytimes<br />Twitter : https://twitter.com/TheBombayTimes<br />Google + : https://plus.google.com/u/0/102984408851160634037/posts<br /><br />Bombay Times Official YouTube channel is managed by Culture Machine Media Pvt Ltd.
