On the eve of Republic Day, the NDA Government has announced the list for the Padma Awards 2016. Eminent personalities from across the fields of sports, entertainment and public service are to be awarded the Padma Bhushan, Padma Vibhushan and Padma Shri awards

 

Rajinikanth, who enjoys a massive fan following, tweeted: "Feeling deeply honoured for being awarded the Padma Vibhushan. My heartfelt thanks to my dear fans, well-wishers and friends for all the wishes."
Lovingly called 'Thalaivar' by his fans, the actor has spent over four decades in filmdom and is a phenomena by himself. His family is equally excited that he has been named for the country's second highest civilian award.
His daughter Soundarya tweeted: "Proud daughter! Appa is now Padma Vibhushan Shri Rajinikanth", while his son-in-law Dhanush, who's married to his second daughter Aishwarya, wrote: "Padma Vibhushan for Thalaivar... SUPER thrilled, SUPER proud SUPER day can't get bigger."
