Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari on Saturday made a startling revelation that film actor Asha Parekh came to him for recommending her name for Padma Bhushan award. During an event in Nagpur he said - "She climbed 12 floors to meet me in person and I really felt bad about it." The Padma Bhushan is the third highest civilian award after the Bharat Ratna and the Padma Vibhushan and comes before the Padmashree.
