Rajkummar Rao could very well hold a record for the most awards won by an actor in a single year. He has won a total of 14 competitive awards starting February this year—and sometimes multiple awards in a single month! The path breaking actor’s awards and honours range from Best Actor for his extraordinary performances in Babdhia Do, Monica O My Darling and Guns & Gulaabs to Most Stylish Youth Icon for his interesting sartorial choices (he doesn’t always work with a stylist, and often wears pieces from his own wardrobe). He also won a special Influential Young Indian Award this year. He continues to live by example. He is one of the most grounded stars despite all the success and fame, and inspires young people in the country. Here’s an exhaustive list of all the awards and recognitions won by him this year:
