First
it
was
Aamir
Khan,
then
it
was
Shahrukh
Khan
and
now
it's
Aishwarya
Bachchan,
who's
bagged
the
Padma
Shri
award.
And
while
the
three
stars
have
all
won
their
respective
awards
in
different
years,
there's
one
common
connection
that
the
trio
share.
That
all
the
three
actors
have
won
a
Padma
Shri
soon
after
working
with
ace
filmmaker
Ashutosh
Gowariker.
Aamir
won
the
award
post-Lagaan,
Shahrukh
post
-
Swades,
and
Ash
post
–
Jodhaa
Akbar,
all
three
films
that
were
directed
by
Ashutosh.
Call
it
the
magic
of
teamwork
or
sheer
coincidence,
but
Ashutosh
sure
seems
to
have
a
Midas
touch
when
it
comes
to
bagging
awards.
Now,
do
we
see
the
queue
of
actors
trying
to
make
it
in
Ashutosh's
films
doubling
up?
