Akshay Kumar wins National Award for Rustom

Akshay Kumar has added yet another feather in what has been a glorious career stretching for over two decades. The superstar has won the National Award for Best Actor for his performance in ‘Rustom’, a commercially successful film which released during the Independence Day weekend last year.

Akshay becomes one of the few mainstream heroes to win the prestigious award. He joins Ajay Devgn and Amitabh Bachchan as one of the few major stars to have won the National Award for Best Actor.

Inspite of excellent performances in several films during the last decade, Bollywood awards haven’t really given Akshay his due. He wasn’t even nominated for Rustom or Airlift.

But the actor who turns 50 later this year, enjoying arguably the best phase of his career so far, has finally got his due.

  • Makkhians were crying that he didn’t get filmfare For AIRLIFT, Now even they r in shock how he won it for RUSTOM, even Arjun rampal would have done what akshay done in Rustom (Oops Arjun won national award too lol)
    Even they know he didn’t deserve for Rustom SRK AAMIR were truly deserving this year
    Akshay ko ye sbb pata hota to pehle se hi deshbhakt suru kar deta ?
    But now Awards r not Fake for Them

  • Proud moment for Akkians including Toilet Sunny Akkiholic and Unmatchable Akki. Enjoy buddies

  • I respect the National Award, but to be honest it all looks to be manipulated and influenced.
    Priyadarsan looks to have influence the decision.
    This Year Manoj Bajapai Deserved the award for Aligarh. Secondary mention should go to Nawazuddin, SRK and Aamir as well.
    Akshay performance was much better in Airlift, Baby,hera Pheri, Garam Masala than the average one in Rustom. Akshay deserves the National award but not for Rustom.
    Just like AR Rahman deserves the Oscar but not for Jai Ho for which he got.

  • Shame to see that National Awards ignored Aamir for Dangal and SRK for FAN. Akshay was much better in films like Airlift rather than in Rustom.

  • Dangal and Aamir Khan deserved it much more than Neerja and Akshay. Had Aamir Khan said two three nice things about the govt last year national award would have been for him. #fakenationalawards

  • finally mr. deshbhakt ko deshbhakti ka inam mil hi gaya hahaha, don’t be surprised if he gets another national award for toilet, padman afterall he is bhakts favorite mr. deshbhakt kumar .

  • sab Priyadarshan ka kamaal hai,,,,, akki didnt deserve for this role,,,,, SRK for Fan, Big B for Pink, Sallu for Sultan, Amir for Dangal was way better than Akkis Rustam.

    If u want to give Best Actor Award to akki,,,, den u shuld give him for Sing is King, Jaanwar, Namaste london, Best Actor Supporting for Khaaki…..

    Rustam ddnt deserve ssoory National Award Jury,,,,, Priyadarshan sahi khel gya bc.

  • Natiinal awards has lost its credibility.
    Last year non deserving Amitji won now Akshay for Rustom , at least they would have given him for Airlift.
    Aamir or SRK deserved this

  • It would be more reliable if he wins it for #airlift ………….khans r always ignored by nation jury but biggest jury r audience thts y they are on the peak #superstars

  • wowo Akki you did it. You have been neglected by filmfare for many yrs. Good slap to the filmfare team. Since SRK’s arrival in 90’s filmfare have been totally corrupted. I still can’t even imagine srk bagged 8 best actor in filmfare. And 20+ nomination. He gets nomination no matter what he does.

  • I think he should win it for airlift but still akki sir totaly deserved win national award he gave two of the best performances in last year and his performance in airlift I think is second best performance of the year after Aamir in dangal but aamir have been shots for two years for dangal and his look in dangal help him much even as film dangal is better film than airlift. so congratulations akki sir I sure you will gave us better performance in future with films like TEBK, 2,0, padman, gold, mogul, & crack
