EXCLUSIVE: Vishal Krishna says he does not believe in awards as he reacts to his comments about National Awards
Vishal Krishna Reddy recently came to the limelight for his comments following the announcement of the recent National Awards. In an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla, the Enemy actor reacts to the comments he made about the awards.
It has been 19 years since actor Vishal Krishna Reddy began his career as an actor. The actor, known for his performance in films like Laththi, Action, Kaththi Sandai and more, recently came to the spotlight due to his controversial comments about the National Awards that were announced recently.
In an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla ahead of his film Mark Antony, the actor reacted to the comments. He said that his comments were not meant to be disrespectful to the National Awards, but rather, he was just raising his own perspective. “I’m not venting out, I’m giving my perspective of awards,” stated Vishal as he expressed his thoughts on the same. He further added saying that even if he is invited for award shows, he goes with a plastic smile.
“I don’t believe in awards. See, award is what they (the audience) give. Award and the reward both. Reward is on Friday. What they give is what I eat, 3 meals a day, me and my family. And the award is what they give… 8 people, 4 people committee, 12 people committee deciding crores of peoples opinion and saying that ‘okay, among the nominees, this person is the best actor’, I don’t buy that (sic.)” the Kathakali actor said in the interview, further adding that a survey is better than awards.
