Legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar has agreed to confer the
prestigious 'Pandit Dinanath Mangeshkar Award' to actor Ranveer Singh, who is
busy shooting for his forthcoming movie Befikre in Paris, over Skype.
The Melodious voice Queen has always insisted that winners
of the award be physically present at the event. While Ranveer will connect
through Skype for the ceremony on April 24, his mentor Sanjay Leela Bhansali,
who is also being honored, will receive the award on his behalf at the venue.
The award was instituted in 1999 in the memory of Dinanath
Mangeshkar, father of Lata Mangeshkar. Since then it is awarded annually to
artists for their outstanding contributions to music and flicks. The singer was
quoted saying that Ranveer is one of the youngest recipients of the award and
that he is a great actor who seems like a super positive human being.
