The actor then dropped a bomb by saying that no one could ever notice that those who are present at a particular award show only he/she gets the award, and there is no award for those who aren't present.

Actually mein aapko batau jab main award present karta hu kabhi upar aake toh uspe kata hua hai ki iska naam kat ke yeh naam likha hua hai."
