Legendary singer KJ Yesudas has been conferred Padma Vibhushan, the second-highest civilian award in the country. His fans are on cloud nine and have welcomed the award as a well-deserved one. In an interview to a leading English daily, the 77-year-old singer dedicated the award to his fans. "It is humbling, yes. It is also a stepping stone. It is a mirror of the mind of my audience, who acknowledge that music has no religion, caste or creed," he was quoted.
Late actor and political analyst Cho Ramaswamy has been awarded Padma Bhushan.
