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.
चाहे कोई राज्य सरकार हो या केंद्र सरकार, मुझे आज तक किसी सरकार ने कोई सम्मान नहीं दिया है. मैं उत्तर प्रदेश से हूँ, लेकिन उस सरकार ने भी मुझे आज तक कोई सम्मान नहीं दिया. और यहाँ तक कि मैं पचास साल से मुंबई में हूँ, लेकिन महाराष्ट्र की सरकार ने भी कोई सम्मान नहीं दिया. #रामायण https://t.co/C91yuJClMr

हालाँकि राजकीय सम्मान का अपना अस्तित्व होता है पर दर्शकों के प्यार से बड़ा कोई अवार्ड नहीं होता जो मुझे भरपूर मिला है। आप सभी के असीम प्रेम के लिए सप्रेम धन्यवाद 🙏! #Ramayan #AwardforRamayan https://t.co/mBEC74tK43
