No, I was meaning to ask if he was chosen the entertainer of the decade or the entertainer of the year. CNN/NDTV Indian awards are categorized like enterntainment, politics, sports etc. So no question of winning *Indian of the year/decade*.

Congrats for the award thalaivaa. Who else but you for the entertainer of the decade.

He was completely overwhelmed and was not comfortable at all. And I was right about the politics question and the answer (it was no comments this time). PC said he had a great chance in 1996. And loved Ajay D / Vidya B / Trisha / Katrina's comments. Trisha particularly was good. Trishakku oru chance kuduthurunga thalaivaa. Was a little disappointed that he said robot is his best so far, it used to be muLLum malarum. But I think he was simply playing it to the gallery.
