He said he feels "blessed and honoured, fortunate and humbled, overwhelmed and submerged by the affection and love of the people …"
 
Following is the full post of his blog:
 
The Government of India has decorated me today with the highest Padma Award of the country, the Padma Vibhushan ..
 
I have no words to express my gratitude to the powers that be and am most humbled and overwhelmed by the generosity of the people that decide or sit on judgement on this ..
 
In the family now we have a combined list of 7 such awards of the highest National acclaim ..
 
My Father : Padma Shree , Padma Bhushan
 
Jaya : Padma Shree
