However, in today's era, the awards, honors, trophies and success parties distributed in Bollywood have become redundant. Now the standard of non-government honors distributed among the people here has also lost its level. Many award companies are running the business of giving awards in the name of Dada Saheb Phalke. Phalke Award, Ambedkar Award, Guinness Book Award and in the same way news of honorary doctorates being given to stars also keep coming. Many foreign universities have given honorary doctorates to many stars of Hindi films. On hearing such news, many kinds of questions start roaming in the mind that is there no meaning left in getting respect through education and hard work? While listening to the honor of some stars, one feels proud, while others are surprised to think that Doctor (Dr.) is written in front of their names. If the word 'doctor' of acting is used for Amitabh Bachchan, then it is justified. But, how is it possible that any star can be awarded by foreign universities? Then when foreign universities have a Hindi faculty by name. Many of these universities make us feel proud and we do not even know the names of many. Stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgan have got honorary doctorate degrees. However, these stars do not like to be called Doctor of Literature by writing 'Doctor' in front of their name. As far as respect is given to Javed Akhtar, we would say that by respecting him, no one
The university itself will be honoured.

Javed Akhtar's name is deeply associated with Bollywood's pretext literature. Hindi cinema in the form of the Salim-Javed duo has given respect to writers on screen. She has a long list of all the films written by her. Similarly, there is a long list of memorable songs written by her. She is a 15-time Filmfare Award winner. 8 times for the script and 7 times for the songs written by her. He has been awarded the Padma Shri and Padma Bhushan, the best honors of the Government of India. Research is being done on his writings, it is very possible. These days he has written a new style of screenwriting (screenplay based on the comic book Archie) in which Shahrukh Khan's daughter Suhana, Sridevi's second daughter Khushi and Amitabh Bachchan's grandson Agastya Nanda are being given screen debuts. This film is being made by his own daughter Zoya Akhtar. Javed Akhtar's personality is such that some time ago he went to Pakistan to attend Faiz's memory, then he came there after narrating the facts to the Pakistani Buddhists.

If any university awards 78-year-old Javed Akhtar with the title of Doctorate (Honorary), then it is not a matter of comparison with the honorary degree given to other Bollywood stars. He is different from others. The truth is that he is such a writer-lyricist, screenwriter, poet and activist who deserves research. 'Doctorate' is not something to be given to Javed Akhtar, he should be given a doctorate.
