Akshay Kumar dumps Star Screen Award, says Aamir Khan deserved it



January 15th, 2009

Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar, who never received any 'Best Actor Award' during his 20-year-old film career, has shocked everyone yesterday night by refusing to accept the Star Screen Award for 'Most Popular Actor'. Akshay said that he did not deserve the award and admitted that only Aamir Khan deserved the award for his rocking performance in the blockbuster, "Ghajini".


Akshay Kumar was nominated for his film "Singh is Kinng", but he declined the award saying he had recently seen Ghajini and firmly believe that Aamir Khan should be the unanimous choice to receive the honour.

Akshay Kumar's rare gesture, has drew a lot of praise and appreciation from the critics and Bollywood fans. His action will set the tone for his forthcoming movie "From Chandi Chowk to China".
