“These awards are a joke, and anyone who takes them seriously needs to have his head examined, which in turn means that a lot of our film industry (people) need to get their heads examined.” Right on, Naseer!

I always liked Naseeruddin Shah. Apart from being a classy actor, he’s honest and candidly talks with a voice of sanity. Here he is on an interview with Rajeev Masand talking about awards, Bollywood film industry, Slumdog Millionaire, of Indians basking in reflected glory and Bollywood actors in Hollywood. I like the straightforward and unapologetic demeanour.
