Paresh Rawal on Award Shows: Lobbying Exists, Director's Praise Matters Most

Imagine there are awards given to actors for their great work.

Paresh Rawal, a famous actor, said that sometimes people try to unfairly influence who wins these awards, like in big award shows like the Oscars.

He thinks this 'lobbying' might happen even in India's National Awards, though less so.

But for him, the most important thing is when the director and writer of his movie are happy with his performance.

He feels that if they say 'good job,' that's like winning a big award.

If a few people he really respects also praise him, that's even better, like adding frosting to a cake.
