Ajay Devgn, who has been busy shooting for his upcoming film Shivaay in Bulgaria, made his way to Delhi as he was conferred with the Padma Shri Award. The actor was presented the award by the President of India, Pranab Mukherjee for his contribution to the Indian Cinema. The actor has been working in Bollywood since 25 years and has given us various hits. The actor has already won two National Awards for Zakhm (1992) and The Legend Of Bhagat Singh (2002) and now he was just conferred the Padma Shri award.

We already knew by January end that Ajay Devgn and Priyanka Chopra will be conferred with the Padma Shri, while Rajnikanth will be conferred the Padma Bhushan award and that happened today. While Priyanka couldn’t make it to the Awards, Ajay Devgn was present and took the award with lot of pride.

In a earlier statement, Ajay Devgn had said, “I feel deeply humbled yet elated to receive such honour from my own country. This announcement today makes it special for me when I’m filming abroad for my new film Shivaay. I’d like to acknowledge that the Padma Samman puts an extra responsibility on me and I promise to serve my country for as long as I can.”

Meanwhile, Anupam Kher was also conferred with the Padma Bhushan too.

On the work front, Ajay is currently working on Shivaay, post which he will start shooting for Baadshaho.
