"From living your incredible life on the big screen to witnessing you receive the Arjuna Lifetime Achievement Award at Rashtrapati Bhawan today, it felt surreal. Every moment was like a dream. Now our film #ChanduChampion seems to have found its perfect ending (it started with you fighting for the Arjuna Award), but knowing you, an unstoppable champion, this can't be the climax... Keep inspiring, Sir. I feel so proud to be present in this moment framed in history with you and the Honourable President of India 🇮🇳🙏🏻 Salute to you, and congratulations to all the Arjuna awardees ❤"
