Receiving Padma Shri a dream-come-true: Udit Narayan
Posted on Monday, February 23, 2009
Veteran Bollywood playback singer Udit Narayan, who was conferred with the Padma Shree, India's fourth-highest civilian honour, says the award is a dream come true for him.
"I can't express my feelings," the singer told IANS, "It is like a dream come true for me. After receiving three national awards for 'Lagaan', 'Zindagi Khoobsurat Hai' and 'Swades', this is like the highest honour for me. I am feeling really very happy."
Narayan, who has voiced hit numbers like 'Pehla nasha' and 'Jadoo Teri Nazar', among several others, said he is receiving the award "just because of God's grace, the blessings of my parents, love of my wife and son and fans and 30 years of struggle. I am so glad that the government appreciates honesty and hard work by its countrymen with such profound respect as the Padma Shri," he added.
