Anil Kapoor Receives Dinanath Mangeshkar Award

Risingbd Desk: Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor has been felicitated with the prestigious Deenanath Mangeshkar Award on the occasion of the death anniversary of singer Lata Mangeshkar`s father.

The actor was thrilled to bits to receive the "priceless" honour.

"I have received national and few international awards in my career so far, but this award is special, in fact, priceless for me," the National Award winning actor said at the ceremony in Mumbai on Friday.

"This is because I don`t think I am a deserving candidate for this award. I am still a newcomer," he added.

The 58-year-old actor also met Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis at the event. The actor`s daughter, Sonam, accompanied him to the event.

This was the 73rd edition of the awards. Apart from Anil, actor Dilip Prabhalkar was also conferred with the honour.

Anil Kapoor will be next seen in Zoya Akhtar`s Dil Dhadakne Do.
