    A brief about Rawal's career and awards

    Rawal has starred in a variety of roles across genres through a career spanning nearly four decades. Some of his most notable movies include Andaz Apna Apna, OMG - Oh My God!, Table No. 21 and the popular Hera Pheri film series. Rawal won the prestigious National Film Award in 1994. In 2014, he was conferred the Padma Shri, the country's fourth-highest civilian award.

    Filmmaker Ashoke Pandit has posted a congratulatory message for Rawal on Twitter. He wrote, "Heartiest Congratulations and all the very best to my dear friend Paresh Rawal for being appointed as the chief of NSD."
