Naseeruddin Shah, who is known for his powerful portrayals on screen, too received the award from the president. In his acceptance address Shah said: "I am proud to receive this award. I am grateful to the government to have thought it fit to consider me for it. Shah added: "Unlike other awards, this is not a competition. Nobody lost because of me. It is recognition of what we have done. It has happened at the right time."
