“I am humbled and honoured that my work as an actor and film-maker has been chosen to receive such a fantastic tribute," Contactmusic quoted Kapoor as saying.
Meanwhile, he has also advised the parents of his young co-stars in Slumdog to focus on their kids’ education rather than acting careers. Kapoor said that he has already spoken to the children''s parents - and offered them advice.
