I just got to read today that attempting actor Saif Ali Khan received the coveted award, Padmashree, from the President of India, Pratibha Patil. From what I read, the Padmashree award is handed out to Indian citizens who have made a noticeable contribution in fields like Arts, Education, Industry, Literature, Science, Sports, Medicine, Social Service and public life.
So, what on earth did Saif Ali Khan get the award for? This has been the question on the minds of many people. It seems there is one more field that merits the coveted (not any longer) award,- and that's the field of perseverence. This chap has been trying to act for nearly two decades now, and although nowhere close to what you might call an 'actor', he has finally reached the stage, where he has now mastered the skill of acting like he is acting, a feat in itself, considering that his competitors are plastic studs like Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar.
So, Saif Ali Khan gets the Padmashree Award for having made a noticeable contribution in the field of Perseverence, thus bringing a ray of hope to other ambitious hopefuls in diverse areas like attempting to write (Shobha De) and sounding knowledgeable on cricket (Mandira Bedi).
