btw, y should we compare a
multiple oscar nominee, 4 time national award winner, 16 times filmfare award winner, 27th Highest sold artiste in the world all time, Bollywood Badshah, UN ambassador to the maestro???? we know IR is great, but we dont want to compare ARR to IR to show he is great......ok va?? it was a reply to YOUR post ... when someone speak about your favorite star, it is quite normal that you try to defend him, but don't insult others !!
and you continue saying triple oscar nominee, 4 time national award winner, 16 times filmfare award winner, 27th Highest sold artiste in the world all time, Bollywood Badshah, UN ambassador IR is no less than that ! oscar nominee doesn't mean anything ... it is an american award given for american, indian can only compete for foreign category ... which means NOthing ! and just for your kind information, to name a few :
