Darsheel refuses Best Child Actor award, claims he wants Best Actor

After stealing so many hearts with an awe-inspiring performance in Taare Zameen Par, he believes he deserves to be recognized in the Best Actor category, especially considering the fact that Aamir Khan was nominated (and won) as 'Best Supporting Actor'. In a simple statement he says, "I am playing the lead role in the film, so I should get the Best Actor Award."
