Legendary singer S.Janaki refuses the Padma Bhushan Award

Jan 26, 2013

Renowned singer S.Janaki has refused to accept the Padma Bhushan award after looking at the awardees list this year which she feels is prominently dominated by North Indians. She sees this as an injustice to South Indians.

 

She has given a statement saying that she is extremely disappointed. The legendary singer has crooned more than 15000 songs across all the Southern languages and also in Hindi.

 

She has won the National Award four times and is also a recipient of the Tamil Nadu state award “Kalaimamani”. The Padma Awards list of 2013 was announced on the eve of the Republic Day.
