One could earn fame, money and popularity for their work, but official recognition is something most artists desire. The credibility of the award shows of the film industry might have been affected in recent times, but the honour from the governments are still considered massive. Despite the huge popularity of Ramayan in the ‘80s and ‘90s, Arun Govil, recently revealed that no government, whether home state Uttar Pradesh or Maharashtra, where he lives, had honoured him with any award.
