Noresh and Mahesh named posthumous for Padma Shri Awards

Ahmedabad: Posthumously, the Gujarati singer Late Mahesh Kanodia and actor-turned politician Late Naresh Kanodia named for Padma Shri Award
Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel announced the award during the first death anniversary commemoration event organised Monday night.
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi has declared posthumous Padma Shri to both brothers Maheshbhai and Nareshbhai. President Ram Nath Kovind will be giving the awards on November 9,” Patel said.
Popularly known as the ‘Naresh-Mahesh duo’ in the Gujarati film industry, the brothers used to sing together – and unfortunately, died almost around the same time. Two days after Mahesh died, after a prolonged illness on October 25, 2020, Naresh died of Covid-19 on October 27 morning.
Naresh was also awarded the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 2012 for his contribution and role in over 300 films. Meanwhile, Mahesh could sing in 32 different voices and knew over 20 languages.
Remembering the brothers, Patel said, “I am talking about 1979-80 when students did not have much money. And I remember others would normally charge Rs 8,000-Rs10,000 for the college’s programmes. But they would accept whatever we would offer them. Even if Rs 5,000 was fixed for their performance, they would accept Rs 4,000 or Rs 4,500 if we fell short of funds. This was the reason we invited them continuously for three years at the polytechnic college.”
