  • Bharat ratna is too big for them…
    They deserved padma vibhushan and they got it…
    So decision of modi government is always true.

  • For now Padma Vibhushan is being given to Big B… In Time he may get the Bharat Ratna Award….
    In my Opinion, Raj Kapoor n Dilip ji deserves it more than anyone in Film industry…

    But as an Actor they both have won the Highest honour in Bollywood… Dada Saheb Phalke award n That is Enough to Show their contribution to Indian Cinema…

    Two minutes of silence for all those who think that SRK deserves Bharat Ratna…..

  • shahrukh desrves bharat ratna…
    i dont understand whats the problem with the committee.
    why they act as they have to pay personally for the bharat ratna??
    Even dilip sahab n amitabh bacchan desrves bharat ratna.
    Dilip jee initiated bollywood…..amitabh sustained it n shahrukh revolutionized it
    3 people from three different eras made bollywood what it is today
    even aamir salman desrves bharat ratna……….but salman will be denied coz of his criminal cases. however aamir may have a big shot in coming years for his satyamev jayate initiative

  • @damnnn if any one from today generation deserves most than it should be Aamir khan,srk also doing great but Aamir step ahead.He has done social relevant movies as well been part of those in real lives,his production house churned brilliant films and SMJ took him ahead and diverse from others.But it just perception of fans in reality I don’t think any of them can get except Big B.

  • @sky they will in sha Allah…….but it will take some time
    may be after 10 to 15 years……..or posthumously
    but amitabh may get awarded in a couple of years.

  • Bharat Ratna should be awarded to Manoj Kumar. Because he has made so many patriotic films and they were appreciated by all.

  • He never got any national award. For actors, National award requires real contribution through meritorious works and not merely by box office collections from unrealistic roles.
