No Bharata Ratna for NTR Hyderabad: Speculations are rife since a few days in Tollywood and political circles that great actor NTR who even set a trend in national politics by sweeping to power within 9 months by starting TDP in Andhra Pradesh will be given Bharata Ratna this year.
When cheif minister Chandrababu Naidu and TDP demanded Bharata Ratna for NTR many felt that his name would be recommended for Center and many thought that his closeness with PM Modi will get the coveted Bharata Ratna for the great star.
However here comes a big shocker. NTR name was not recommended for prestigious award. Union Home Ministry sources reveal that AP Govt did not recommend anyone for Bharata Ratna.
Let's hope the supreme leader of Telugu community would receive the honour, at least posthumously!
