Jitendra, whose acting career in Bollywood spanned three
decades, was freshly honored with 2014's Dadasaheb Phalke award in Mumbai.
After receiving the honour, the 72-year-old actor expressed
his gratitude to all the people who shaped his career.
"I would like to thank my film industry, all my
directors, actors, my light boys, spot boys, art directors. I am standing here
today because of them. They always hid my weaknesses and always worked hard on
me to encourage my talent. Had they not been there, I would have never become
Jitendra from Ravi Kapoor. Last but not the least, I thank my family," he told.
