Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari made an offensive remark against veteran actress Asha Parekh on Saturday by claiming she had climbed 12 floors of his building to lobby for a Padma Bhushan award.
Gadkari was addressing a public gathering inNagpur on Saturday and was joking about how giving out awards had become a `headache`. He was being chased by the award aspirants seeking his recommendation, he pointed out.
As the audience laughed at his statements, he continued: "Asha Parekh came to me for Padma Bhushan. The lift of my apartment had broken down, so she climbed 12th floors…”
“I really felt bad about it," Gadkari said with a chuckle.
