Rekha played to the gallery declaring “Maharashtra maza, mee Maharashtrachi.” Aamir, however, admitted, “My mother always tried to teach me Marathi and Urdu. I cannot speak Marathi, but I can read and understand it.” The V Shantaram Award (for excellence in Marathi films) was given to well known lyricist Jagdish Khebudkar and actor-director Mahesh Kothare. Also called on stage for felicitation were the recipients of this year’s Padma awards including Helen and singers Udit Narayan and Kumar Sanu.
