Veteran actor Rishi Kapoor is known to speak his mind with no holds barred. Ahead of the release of his autobiography Khullam Khulla: Uncensored, Kapoor admitted to buying a film award to India Today. Rajdeep Sardesi tweeted his words from the interview.
Yes, I bought a film award for RS 30,000 in 1973; I am ashamed of what I did but was young and rich! @chintskap tells me @IndiaToday tv

That’s honest! Makes you wonder – if it was so easy to buy an award back then, how easy it could be now? Award shows in India have always had a reputation for being rigged and this makes us believe it even more.
