The award was first presented in 1969 to commemorate Dadasaheb Phalke`s significant contribution to Indian cinema. Devika Ran, who is considered the first lady of Indian cinema, became the first person to be honoured with this award.

Over the years, talents and legends like Prithviraj Kapoor, Satyajit Ray, Ashok Kumar, Raj Kapoor, Lata Mangeshkar, Akkineni Nageswara Rao, Dilip Kumar, Sivaj Ganeshan, Asha Bhosle, Yash Chopra, Dev Anand, Gulzar, Amitabh Bachchan, Rajinikanth, and Waheeda Rehman, among others, have been bestowed with the award.

"I am very happy. I have never asked for anything for myself from anyone in my life. I am very happy because when someone receives so much respect and honor... it`s the happiest moment," Mithun said while talking to ANI.

He reflected on the moment he received the news of being awarded with Padma Bhushan and said, “When I received the call informing me that I was being awarded the Padma Bhushan, I was silent for a minute because I hadn`t expected it... because it`s a big thing."

"But I didn`t expect it. I am happy. Thank you to everyone on the committee who selected me,” the actor concluded.
