The National Award winners were announced last month, when the world cheered for Sridevi's first ever National Award win and this what Mr Kapoor had to say: "She might not be among us anymore but her talent, work and memory will live on. Sri was and always will be a shining star in the sky. I know this recognition and this award would mean a lot to her, it surely means a lot to us. So, thank you."

Anil Kapoor and Sridevi famously co-starred in films like Laadla, Jaanbaaz, Judaai and Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja but the Shekhar Kapur-directed Mr India remains their most popular movie so far. Sridevi was cast as Seema, a feisty reporter, while Anil Kapoor played violinist Arun who's in charge of a house full of orphans. The name of the film was inspired by one-half of Anil Kapoor's onscreen character - Arun turned into an invisible vigilante by night.
Anil Kapoor is currently busy with the preparations of Sonam Kapoor's wedding, which is scheduled to take place on May 8. On the work front, he has quite a few films in the pipeline - Fanne Khan, Race 3 and Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga are in his line-up.
