He even listed 7 of his own past performances that didn’t win, despite being loved by fans and critics. This isn’t humility for show. This is the quiet truth of art: awards don’t always match merit. Sometimes, luck, timing, or even the mood of the jury decides who wins. Dhanush’s message? Celebrate the wins; even if they feel accidental. Because in a world where talent doesn’t always get recognized, getting one nod is still worth raising a glass.
