“There are two singers who have inspired artists worldwide. One of them, Mohammed Rafi, has only been given the Padma Shri, and the other, Kishore Kumar, hasn’t even received that. Awards are even being given posthumously,” he said in the video, which he captioned, “India and its pending Padma Awardees.”
