Shama Sikander, who made headlines for her popular stint on the small screen, is back in news due to the outrageous claim made about Shah Rukh Khan. While speaking in an interview with, she spilled the beans regarding how actors buy awards at the award functions. She said that this trend of actors buying awards is nothing new but has been going on for a pretty long time now. The ‘buying awards’ superstar has been the subject of many a joke that goes around often in the film industry.
In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Shama claimed, “Shah Rukh Khan has publicly accepted buying several awards. It was very honest and daring to say that.” She also mentioned how times have changed, as earlier when an actor used to get an award, it used to be a subject of appreciation. The actress went on to add that these award functions are nothing but money-minting businesses. Shama also talked about how nobody really gives a hoot about these award functions as celebrities go there only to pose in their designer wear and do some branding.
For the uninitiated, SRK has over 300 awards. In an earlier interview with The Guardian, the Pathaan actor had said that he has a nine-story office and every floor has some of his awards.
