Superstar Salman Khan says the love he has got from the audience for his latest release Bajrangi Bhaijaan is his national award.

His co-star Kareena Kapoor recently said in an interview that she feels Salman might get the coveted recognition for his work in the superhit movie. “It is sweet of people to say that (National Award). I think there are a lot of other people who deserve national award than me. I appreciate that. People have loved the film …watched it three four times.. that is the national award for me,” Salman said.

On his acting skills being lauded, Salman says, “I haven’t considered myself as a star or actor. This is my badappan (modesty).” The 49-year-old actor is elated with the response to the film. “There was a feeling that it would do well. We did expect that people would appreciate the film… and we got to know that we were on the same wave length. Whenever we make films on India-Pakistan, we deal with army and terrorists. We have never shown the normal side of people in both the countries. We were dealing with humanity and people have liked that,” he said.
