"Indeed this has been a good day for me. First my film 'Peepli Live' gets a superb response here at the Sundance Film Festival, and then I receive this wonderful news of receiving the Padma Bhushan.
"I only wish, I was back home right now. I would like to thank god for these happy moments, and all my fans and well-wishers for their love, support and good wishes," added the 44-year-old who is already a recipient of the Padma Shri.
The actor has blazed a new trail to success with "3 Idiots". According to latest reports, Aamir's "3 Idiots" that takes a critical look at the education system in the country has become the biggest grosser by earning Rs.382 crore world wide till date.
