Its official: Padma Bhushan for our Ulaganayagan and Kaviperarasu!

Earlier in the day there were reports and speculations regarding the announcement of the Padma Bhushan for Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan. The actor himself has now come out and announced the happy news. Along with him, the master of words, Kaviperarasu Vairamuthu will also be awarded Padma Bhushan, the third highest civilian award.  

In response to the honour, the film maker/actor said, “I feel proud to be an Indian. India is a country with great talents in various fields. While legions await to be honoured, I'm honoured that I have been chosen for the Padma Bhushan by my Government. I think it is sheer chance and my good fortune that I have been chosen. I hope that I would live long to do more to deserve this award. I don’t consider this an honour for the work that I have already done. This would be an impetus for me to do more good work, perhaps only then would I deserve it. My heartfelt congratulations to the other Padma Bhushan awardees, especially my friend Mr. Vairamuthu”

Let’s cheer for both the legends!
