What joke is that? About Oscars not being different from Padma Bushan. I am sure you know the difference and I don't want to explain that. //


No joke.
For IR : Oscar, Padma Bushan are all the same..mere awards..

You have to look at the context.
If IR goes all the way to praise ARR in a beautiful way ( really a beautiful way to praise a junior talent ) for Oscar, why can't he remain the same for Padma Bhushan ? Why suddenly "Why should I feel for somebody else ?" attitude ?
Contradiction or mood shift or what ?

We are all worried that IR was not marketed well for his genius. But why do we deny that marketing should begin from himself. Marketing does not mean boasting or advertising. But at least he should not spoil his chances by speaking carelessly.

Some one brought ONV Kurup's matter. Even in that, IR was careless in what he wanted to convey.
