SRK deserve the award because of his potrayal in MNIK whereas Salman performance is not stronger | |

All awards in India - whether it is the Padma Shri or just any filmy award - are given to the highest bidder. In this case, Shahrukh Khan won the best actor award because he must have filled up the coffers of those who matter/decide on who should get the honor. His totally inaccurate portrayal of a person who is autistic is laughable because autistic people do not interact with others as they live in their own world. | |

This is outrageous. Totally absurd that the best actor award is not given to Salman Khan, who truly deserves it. I reckon that the judging of best actor is not impartial...... this is absolute cheating. I am greatly disappointed and share my heartfelt regrets woes with Salman. | |

i think the best actress award should be given to vidya balan for ishqiya because if we can have a look on both the film systematic analysis shows that vidya is more over kajol in certain parameters like (dialogue delivery,role-as a rough and tough actress) |
