Mammootty and R. Madhavan To Receive Padma Awards On June 23, Posthumous Honour For Satish Shah

The second investiture ceremony will complete this year’s Padma Awards presentations.

After the first Padma Awards investiture ceremony at Rashtrapati Bhavan last month, the remaining awardees are set to receive the country’s prestigious civilian honours later this month. It is a great moment and matter of great pride for any individual to receive the Padma awards, especially when the same has been given by the President of India

President Droupadi Murmu will honor 65 distinguished personalities with the Padma Awards at the second Civil Investiture Ceremony on June 23. During the first ceremony, held last month, around 66 recipients were honoured with the prestigious Padma Awards. As the awards are presented within a limited ceremonial schedule, the remaining awardees will now receive their honours in the second phase.

This year, the President approved 131 Padma Awards, including five Padma Vibhushan, 13 Padma Bhushan, and 113 Padma Shri honours. The awards, announced annually on Republic Day, recognised individuals whose contributions spanned fields such as art, social work, public affairs, science and engineering, literature, education, medicine, sports, trade and industry, and civil service.

Among the prominent names from the world of cinema to be honoured on June 23 is veteran Malayalam superstar Mammootty, who has acted in more than 400 films across multiple languages during a career spanning over five decades. Also to be awarded is R. Madhavan, a renowned actor who has showcased his skills in South Cinema and Bollywood.
