Megastar
Amitabh
Bachchan
was
conferred
with
the
Yash
Chopra
Memorial
Award
here,
and
said
that
he
is
still
striving
to
deliver
his
best
in
the
Indian
film
industry.
Maharashtra
Governor
C.
Vidyasagar
Rao
honoured
him
with
the
award,
which
was
given
to
Lata
Mangeshkar
last
year.
The
event
was
held
on
Thursday.
"I
feel
very
grateful
to
have
received
the
honour
and
I
would
like
to
thank
(politician)
T.
Subbarami
Reddy
and
all
the
jury
members
to
consider
me
for
this
honour," the
72-year-old
said
after
the
ceremony.
"I
don't
think
I
deserve
this
much
appreciation,
but
I
am
still
trying
to
give
my
best
and
will
continue
to
do
so
in
the
coming
years
with
all
your
love
and
support,"
he
added.
The
second
edition
of
the
award
ceremony
was
organised
by
the
TSR
Foundation,
headed
by
Reddy.
Other
celebrities
like
Simi
Garewal,
Jaya
Prada
and
late
filmmaker
Yash
Chopra's
wife
Pamela
Chopra
were
present
at
the
event.
Later,
Big
B,
who
has
dedicated
over
four
decades
of
his
life
to
filmdom,
took
to
his
blog
srbachchan.tumblr.com
and
posted,
"I
am
eternally
humbled
and
grateful...it
was
awkward
to
sit
there
and
listen
to
all
the
accolades
that
come
your
way."
"I
have
not
yet
learnt
the
art
of
carrying
the
right
expression
when
listening
to
praise.
And
I
shall
never
learn,
for
I
have
never
believed
in
the
praise
that
comes
my
way."
"I
am
not
deserving
I
know,
but
it
would
help
if
the
moment
of
acknowledgement
came
within
closed
doors
and
drawn
curtains," he
said.
