Kumar Sanu has recently shared his thoughts on why he hasn’t received National Awards and how it affects him. However, this hasn’t deterred him from pursuing what he loves. During an interview with Aaj Tak, the accomplished singer expressed, “The thing is I should have definitely gotten a National award, I should have been given Padma Bhushan. But I do not bother. It is up to them. It is certainly an honour, and it hurts (when you do not get what you deserve). It hurts definitely but now I am used to it. If you do not have enough approach and buttering skills, you cannot get these awards. I understand that now, and even the public understands it now. You get awards only when you have the approach, it is difficult to get these awards normally.”
“It is fine, I do not have that kind of approach and understanding (of the system) that I can manage an award for myself. I never paid attention to these things, I do not care what others are doing. Even today I do not care. May be I missed that (kind of approach towards awards). No problem, the government will me an award when they feel I deserve one. What can I do if they do not give it to me?”
It’s worth noting that Kumar Sanu was awarded the Padma Shri in 2009.
Reflecting on his illustrious musical journey spanning three decades, he has delivered numerous chart-toppers like “Mera Dil Bhi Kitna Pagal Hai,” “Dil Ka Aalam,” “Sochenge Tumhe Pyaar,” “Ek Ladki Ko Dekha,” and “Yeh Kaali Kaali Aankhen.” In the ’90s, he was a massive hit among teenagers.
Kumar Sanu’s musical talents extend beyond Bollywood, as he has ventured into various languages, lending his voice to Bengali, Assamese, Nepali, Bhojpuri, Punjabi, Odiya, Telugu, and Kannada songs as well.
