Tsk. No chair for old man. Try sitting on a table next time.

Maybe he deserves a chair or maybe not. Your guess is as good as mine in that regards.
I was just looking for information about his role in bajranji bhaijaan and came across this article and thought of sharing it in bollywood forum.

What award show doesn't have any extra chairs?

Couldn't they find a plastic one or a fold out.

Strange

They treat seniors like second class citizens.

It's worse because in this case he was supposed to get an award but still didn't get a seat.

Disgusting to see a multiple National Award winning actor, first Indian actor to get OBE, successful in arthouse, commercial, international cinema, theatre and TV, and an alumnus of FTII-NSD get treated like this.

Anyone else with such impeccable credentials and experience would get certain basic respectful treatment. But not in crude Bollywood. 🤢

Next time all celebrities should keep a stool in their cars.
