Watch how Amitabh Bachchan reacted on receiving Dadasaheb Phalke Award

He was supposed to be conferred with the title during the National Awards ceremony that was held this year. Owing to his ill-health, the actor had to skip the event and a special ceremony was held at the Rashtrapathi Bhavan, Delhi to honour the legend.

Post collecting his award, during the speech he had said, “"When this award was announced, a doubt arose in my mind - if this is an indication for me to sit at home and relax after working for so many years? There is some more work I have to finish and certain possibilities are coming up where I may get a chance to do some work. I just wanted some clarification on this.”

He further added, “God has been kind, there have been blessings of my parents, the support of the filmmakers, producers, co-actors from the industry, but I'm most indebted to the love and constant encouragement by the Indian audience. That's the reason I'm standing here. I accept this award with utmost humility and gratitude." Watch here -
