Veteran actor Kaikala Satyanarayana won many Nandi Awards but none of the the ‘Padma’ awards which he rightly deserves. The reason why he was denied the ‘Padma’ felicitation is more political than his talent revealed the veteran.
In a recent interview, Kaikala Satyanarayana said that the Congress government rejected him ‘Padma’ Award only because he contested and won on the behalf of the Telugu Desham Party, a rival party for Congress. Hence he was denied in spite of strong recommendation from his admirers.
Actos kike Mohan Babu, Chiranjeevi and Brahmanandam got ‘Padma’ awards only because they have contacts and could manage to bag those prestigious awards. He is happy, though. This denial of ‘Padma’ keeps him in news always and that itself is enough because people talk about him for the denial said the Veteran seeing the brighter side of the denial.
