Saif Ali Khan was felicitated with the Padma Shri, India's fourth highest civilian award in 2010. The actor was accused of buying a Padma Shri by a troll and he won hearts with his humble response. During his appearance on Arbaaz Khan's chat show, Saif said, "I'm afraid that is not possible. It's a bit beyond me to bribe the Indian government. You will have to ask more senior people," Saif said, adding that he considered returning it, because he felt that were other contenders who were much more deserving than him.
