Will Smith nervous about daughter dating
LONDON, May 10 (UPI) -- "The Kumars at No. 42" and "Goodness Gracious Me" star Sanjeev Bhaskar was honored by Britain's Queen Elizabeth with an Order of the British Empire medal.
"As an Asian bloke, it's another thing I can stick on eBay," Bhaskar, 41, joked after the ceremony Wednesday at Buckingham Palace. "I'll do it tomorrow morning. You can look it up. I'll sign it, of course."
The comic actor, who was accompanied by his actress wife Meera Syal and his parents, told the BBC the queen told him to "keep making us laugh."
"It's great for my parents," he said. "They're of that generation that came over here with nothing. My ancestors would never have believed that their offspring would be at the palace."
Bhaskar met his wife on the BBC's sketch comedy, "Goodness Gracious Me," and they together created and star in the talk show parody, "The Kumars at No 42."
