Cinestar Shah Rukh Khan and filmmaker Yash Chopra are among the 96 people who have been conferred this year’s Padma awards. The awards are announced every year a day before Republic Day. Yash Chopra and Shah Rukh Khan have been honoured with Padma Bhushan and Padma Shri, respectively. “ It’s great to be honoured, though for me it came a bit late, but then I know how the government functions. I will try hard to live up to the expectations,” said Yash Chopra on the occasion.

Others to win these honours from the industry are Manna Dey and singer Kavita Krishnamurti. — Agencies
