Actor-filmmaker
Kamal
Haasan,

the
coveted
Chevalier
de
L'Ordre
Arts
et
Lettres
(The
Knight
of
the
Order
of
Arts
and
Letters)
by
the
French
government,
says
it
was
"silly" of
him
to
have
advertised
the
award.
"Indian
scholars
have
received
two
Chevaliers
and
don't
advertise
it.
Between
humility
and
fame,
silly
me
chose
latter.
Thank
you
friends

fans," Haasan

The
melancholy
of
