Finally...

Finally Saif Ali Khan got admiration as an Actor….He has won a National Award for Best Actor category for movie Hum Tum, Quite surprising but I m quite satisfied. I have a soft corner for him. He always gets improved movie by movie. He did a splendid job in DCH. But Filmfare gave him just Best Actor in a comic role. Same was with Hum Tum, they have given him the same award. In Kal ho na ho he was Best Supporting Actor.

And now look here, he has defeated even SRK of Swades in Best Actor category, three cheers for him.

Also the committee has done daring job by giving Page 3 – three awards and a ‘swarna kamal’
