Irrfan Khan, arguably the most renowned Indian actor globally, has won the Best Actor award at the Asian Film Awards, more commonly known as the Oscars of the East.
Khan was nominated for his performance in ‘The Lunchbox’ alongside Masaharu Fukuyama for ‘Like Father Like Son’ (Japan), Lee Kang-sheng for Stray Dogs France (Taiwan), Tony Leung Chiu-Wai for The Grandmaster (Hong Kong/China) and Song Kang-ho for The Attorney (South Korea).

Talking to the media soon after winning the prestigious award, Irrfan said “It’s a great honour to be nominated alongside an actor like Tony Leung Chiu-Wai and winning”
‘The Lunchbox’ was also nominated in two other categories, for ‘Best Film’ and ‘Best Screenwriter’. While it lost out to ‘The Grandmaster’ in the Best Film category, Ritesh Batra the director/writer of ‘The Lunchbox’ was awarded the ‘Best Screenwriter’ award.
The Asian Film Awards 2014 was held on the 27th of March 2014 at Macau.

Good for Irfaan. But Akshay kumar deserved it! he was flawless and charismatic as villain in Outimd! he was the best part of the film. I didnt like Lunchbox but Akshay in Outimd was amazing.
Good irrfan bro
How Many Years Aamir Will Take To Cross His 10th. Hit?He Has 9 Hits Till Now….Shame On Aamir
Yah akshay should get the award for best comic gangster,and his moustache in outimd should get best supporting probe
One of the best actors of the world….
Best of Luck Irrfan,you made our country proud.
while this talented khan is winning accolades worldwide, our foolish indian audience is still busy doing slavery to shahrukh,salman and aamir khan.
KING KHAN= IRRFAN KHAN
Congratulations, he truly deserves it.
@Real Fan
It should be SRK who should be ashamed. He has 20-25 flops in his career lol
Anyways Aamir has 18 hits in his career with 4 ATBBs. Long Live King Aamir
last chance, finish….. Good going irfan bhai.
Great news, Irfan is surely a great actor and he deserves these kind of achievement. @realchamp and still you are counting hits of Aamir lol.
Congo irrafan bhai.. But still havnt watched the lunchbox
The true khan…rest of the khans are jokers!!
Well deserved!
Irffan khan is the best actor bollywood has ever produced. Simply marvellous.
some fool written amir has amir has 18hits while he has 2-3 hits,4average,4bbs and rest are flops even doing least films in maximum years among all actors.so basically amir and his fan should be ashamed as they couldn’t show how amir holds 18 hits,lol.SRK has mximum bbs as well as hits than amir.SRK has 32% flop and amir has 45% flop.otherwise @true fan will surely ashamed of amir,lol.
@sss Aamir has 18 hits not 9. You lack knowledge and talking about stardom.
Aamir has 3 ATBBs in 6 years while SRK has 0 in 15 years. Shows who should be ashamed.
Long Live King Aamir!
I always doubted Hrithik was an alien as he has 6 fingers and was a stammerer from birth.
He also dances like an alien. He should be kept as a specimen in a Science museum and labelled as
“Six Fingered Rohit- Shiverrguus flopangae”
@true fan — According to BOI AAmir as only 9 hits.
And talking about ATBB one south remake promoted in the name of SRKbraone copied from book multistanunmand one with huge brand value and highest screen numbers.Also remembemontMIR always gets huge free run be it 20 days or 3 months…….whereas SRK capable of making a film BB with only 6 days free run…..just imagine if it would have got 2 weeks free run.
