Every
90s
kid
remembers
swaying
to
the
tunes
of
legendary
singer
Kumar
Sanu
and
falling
in
love
with
his
songs.
In
his
career
spanning
three
decades,
Sanu
has
delivered
some
of
the
greatest
hits
and
garnered
a
massive
fan-following.
Right
from
falling
in
love
to
heartbreak,
there's
a
Kumar
Sanu
song
for
every
occasion.
Not
just
in
Hindi,
the
celebrated
singer
has
also
crooned
in
other
languages
including
Marathi,
Gujarati,
Malayalam,
Punjabi
among
others.
It's
a
bit
shocking
for
his
fans
that
Kumar
Sanu,
one
of
the
most
celebrated
names
in
the
Indian
film
industry,
has
not
won
a
single
National
Award
in
his
career.
In
a
recent
tête-à-tête
with
Navbharat
Times,
Padma
Shri
awardee
Kumar
Sanu
opened
up
about
not
receiving
a
single
National
Award
over
the
years
despite
his
immense
contribution
to
Indian
music
industry.
Blaming
it
all
on
scheming
and
manipulation,
Kumar
Sanu
said,
"I
did
not
receive
a
National
Award
yet
because
maybe
they
think
I
don't
deserve
one." The
playback
singer
said
that
the
time
has
passed
and
he
has
lost
all
hope
of
winning
a
National
Award.
"I
don't
want
a
National
Award
now.
I
am
happy
that
I
have
my
fans
supporting
me
and
they
listen
to
my
songs.
There's
no
reward
bigger
than
my
fans
listening
to
my
songs,"
the
singer
told
the
tabloid.
Speaking
about
the
manipulations
that
happen,
the
singer
continued,
"I
feel
the
common
man
knows
it
all.
They
know
who
deserves
what.
Why
should
I
comment
on
it?
It
is
evident
that
a
lot
of
manipulations
happen
when
it
comes
to
selecting
the
right
candidate
for
the
National
Award.
I
can
challenge
the
ones
who
have
received
National
Award
that
my
achievements
are
more
than
theirs,
but
I
don't
want
to
get
into
this
mess
now.
I
had
never
thought
of
becoming
a
singer
and
achieving
all
that
I
have,
so
I
am
satisfied
that
I
have
a
huge
fan
following."
Further,
Kumar
Sanu
also
opened
up
about
being
conferred
with
the
prestigious
Padmi
Shri
Award
in
2009
and
said,
"I
feel
privileged
to
be
honoured
by
Padma
Shri
but
I
feel
that
such
honours
should
be
given
at
the
right
time
in
one's
career.
It
motivates
artistes
to
perform
better."
Do
you
folks
agree
with
Kumar
Sanu's
opinion?
