Kher received a special honour for his contribution to Indian theatre and cinema at the awards ceremony. He dedicated the award to youngsters from rural parts of India. “Whenever I receive an award for my work, it motivates me to do even better. I always say that it’s not my lifetime achievement award because I feel like I have started my career just now. This award I have dedicated to youngsters from rural parts of India who come here (to Mumbai) and work hard towards achieving success.

“I just want to advise them that if a boy like me who was the son of clerk from forest department of Shimla can receive this award, then they can also achieve many things in their life.”
