<span class=normal>Just yesterday, we had reported that National Award winning director Madhur Bhandarkar had been conferred with the Padma Shri. Well reacting to the award, Madhur took to twitter saying, Really grateful, honoured to be awarded Padma Shri. I accept it with all humility, this great respect bestowed by my Government and my country. I would like to thank my Producers, technicians, actors and my friends for this great honour and most importantly my family for their support. </span>
