An overwhelmed Saif Ali Khan thanked all his directors for his successful film career that fetched him his Padma Shri national honour on Monday. "I am very proud and honoured to have received this honour. I would like to thank my family and loved ones who have been there for me and the industry for supporting me," Saif, who is in Mumbai, said in an e-mail message.
"I would particularly like to thank Imtiaz Ali, Aditya Chopra, Karan Johar, Ramesh Taurani, Farhan Akhtar, Vidhu Vinod Chopra, Siddharth Anand, Kunal Kohli and Vishal Bhardwaj for having faith in me and making me who I am today," he added.
After debuting with Aashiq Awara in 1992, Saif had to struggle until Dil Chahta Hai happened in 2001.
