JOIN USAnupam Kher, who has been named for the Padma Bhushan, has expressed gratitude to Mahesh Bhatt, the director of his debut film ‘Saaransh’.
The veteran actor has given the filmmaker a Rs.1,000 note, and thanked him for giving him a “career”.
The two Hindi film celebrities, it seems, are following the age-old ‘guru-shishya’ tradition.
In an image shared by Anupam on Twitter, Bhatt can be seen kissing the actor’s head as he bows down to his ‘guru’ and gifts him a Rs.1,000 note.
“And the saga of Gurudakshina continues. #PadmaBhushan #Saaransh #MaheshBhatt #Gratitude,” tweeted Anupam.
Earlier in the day, Bhatt congratulated the 60-year-old actor for being named for the Padma Bhushan, the country’s third highest civilian honour.
“When the student outshines the teacher — the teacher dances with joy.
Anupam your Padma Bhushan award has made me so proud,” Bhatt posted.
