Mumbai: Darsheel Safary, the child actor from Aamir Khan's critically acclaimed and commercially successful film Taare Zameen Par, last week won the Screen Award for Best Child Actor.

But the award doesn't seem to have pleased the young actor. Darsheel says the Best Actor Award should be his and he won't settle for a child actor award.

Darsheel firmly believes that since Aamir Khan was also nominated in the Best Supporting Actor Award category, the best Actor nomination and award is what he really deserved. The Best Actor Award at the ceremony was bagged by Shah Rukh Khan for Chak De India.

"I am playing the lead role in the film, so I should get the Best Actor Award," Darsheel says.

Taare Zameen Par swept the 14th Screen Awards, with the debutant director of the movie, Aamir Khan, sharing even the Best Director's Award with Shimit Amin of Chak De India.

Taare... bagged six key awards including Best Director (Aamir Khan), Best Story (Amol Gupte), Best Child Actor (Darsheel), Best Lyricist (Prasoon Joshi), Best Dialogue and Best Supporting Actor (Aamir Khan).

Chak De India ran away with the Best Film Award and Shah Rukh Khan bagged the Best Actor Award at the first film award function of the year.

This year’s event saw some of 2007's top films like Taare Zameen Par, Chak De India, Life…In a Metro, Om Shanti Om and Guru vying for the top honours.
