Ace director SS Rajamouli, who is conferred with the Padma Sri award by the Union Government has expressed that he doesn’t deserve it.
While several from Film fraternity and fans were conveying their wishes to Rajamouli through social media, he took to Twitter to express his mixed response after receiving the honor. Rajamoui feels that he doesn’t deserve the honor as he has not yet created any artistic brilliance.
I dont know what to say. It is quite a mixed feeling. Very frankly i don’t feel I deserve the honour. This is not humility.
