Amitabh had won the Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award a year before. Mentioning the same, he went on to add, “I was very honoured to have got that. I thought once I received that, it should be the end of any future awards. But the theme for today's ceremony is the brave new face and I don't see how I fall in either of those two categories. I am neither brave nor is my face new. Since the theme of today's function is for the future, for the new. I would like to share this award with my colleagues of the future, Mr Sanjay Dutt and Aamir. I will be grateful if they come on stage with me and share.”
