The 53rd National Film Awards were given out at Vigyan Bhawan on Friday after a delay of nearly two years. The award-winners and the I&B Ministry had reason to breathe a sigh of relief, but there were mutterings in other quarters not about who won and who didn’t, nor about absentees or dissenters. The ripple concerned a handshake that wasn’t. I&B Minister Priyaranjan Das Munshi failed to shake Best Actor Amitabh Bachchan’s hand and the lapse, even if inadvertent, has stirred the Bachchan fan club.
