Mumbai: As Filmfare awards 2020 has been dragged in controversies for honoring major awards to a single film and ignoring the deserving nominees, Salman Khan's old video is doing rounds on Twitter. The video shows him saying that he will not go to pick a Filmfare award.

In the viral video, Salman Khan can seen saying, "I think the people who don't have confidence in themselves want awards. I won't go up and pick Filmfare or any stupid award. National Award mile toh that's prestigious. That I'll go and pick."

He added, "Magazine that is running on our strength. Ke aapke interview pe aur stars ke interview pe jo magazine chal rahi hai wohi aapko bulate hai aur bolte hai ki they're going to give you an award. You come and perform. Then they send it to Pan Parag and Manikchand and we are like idiots.. suit-boot pehen ke baithe hai aur award le rahe hai. It is like tomorrow my driver, spotboy and my make-up man will say that baba aaj hum aapko award dete hai. That's stupid."
