The 39-year-old star Saif Ali Khan is accepting the title of Padma Shri with all humility but still believes that there are many people out there who truly deserved it more than him. “Honestly speaking, I feel really humbled and undeserving on being awarded the Padma Shri. It isn’t something that I had asked for and since Government of India has done this for me, all I can do is to deliver my best and live up to it,” Saif told PTI in an interview.This year, Aamir Khan has joined the elite list with a Padma Bhushan against his name. Bollywood diva Rekha has also been awarded with Padma Shri this year. “Each of the names that you mention are so distinguished and they truly deserve a National honor at this level,” said Saif.“This is why I feel a little low key because in current times, someone like Aamir Khan truly deserves a Padma Bhushan. May be I wasn’t really worthy of it. There are many people who deserve it much more me,” the actor said. “I associate this award with senior people who have achieved much more than me in their career. This is why I feel a little strange though perhaps 10 years down the line when I look back at it, all of this may seem a lot more natural,” Saif added.
