New Delhi, Aug 18 (PTI) Awards matter little to Mukesh Tiwari of 'Jageera' and 'Bachcha Yadav' fame although he is yet to win a popular Bollywood award, five nominations in different categories notwithstanding.

"I have been nominated five times for the Filmfare Award but for some unknown reasons I failed to win the award even once," Tiwari told PTI.

He is not exactly hungry for any award or recognition, Tiwari, nominated for the Filmfare Award for Best Performance in Negative Role for "China Gate" and for a Screen Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for "Gangaajal", says, "I am not after any award. Love and affection of the audience is the biggest award for me."

Admitting that the characters played by him in different movies are almost similar, the actor says, "Though each role performed by me are somewhat similar in nature but their souls are different."

On being asked why he is doing small roles, he says, "One scene is enough for a good actor to leave his mark in any film. To me, big roles are not required to showcase talent. Above all, you can't give good shots in every scene of a film." "I am ready to do any kind of role if it is challenging," Tiwari says.

Tiwari, who started his career as a theater actor, is now romancing with television as he is playing an important role in a Bhojpuri serial 'Bahubali', being telecast on the newly launched Bhojpuri channel Mahua.
