… AN ERA OF HONOURS

Popularly known as the “Matinee Idol of Yesteryears”, Sanjay Khan has played the lead hero of hit Bollywood films like ‘Chandi Sona’, ‘Dillagi’, ‘Dus Lakh’, ‘Dhadkan’, ‘Mela’, ‘Duniya’, ‘Woh Din Yaad Karo’ and ‘Milan’ to name just a few. While ‘Kala Dhanda Goray Log’ won him the coveted, “Andhra Pradesh Journalist Award” for Best Actor and Director, ‘Abdullah’ bagged the “Uttar Pradesh Film Journalists Association Award” for an outstanding performance.

Besides the big screen, as a charismatic small screen actor, Sanjay Khan won innumerable laurels. The television serial “The Sword of Tipu Sultan” won him the “The Gem of India Award for Excellence” and “The Rajiv Gandhi Excellence Award” in the field of Work for Television series. “The Great Maratha” too created waves with a magnificent performance that won him “The Udyog Ratna Gold Medal Award”, “The Aashirwad Award”, “The Arch of Excellence Award” and the “National Citizens’ Award” (1993-94) presented by the Rev. Mother Theresa. The serial “Jai Hanuman” was not far behind either as it won him “The Aashirwad Award” for Best Mythological Serial (2000), and the “National Citizen Award” (2001) again, this time for being a True Nationalist.

Other feathers in his cap include prestigious awards like “The Glory of India Award” (1995), “The Super Achievers of India Award” (1995), “The Gem of India Award” (1997), “Honor of Lifetime Achievement” (1996), “The National Citizen’s Award” (2001) and “The Millennium Achievers – 2000”

The traumatic fire accident during the shooting of “The Sword of Tipu Sultan” (8th February 1988), which flung him back from the jaws of death into the living kingdom, gave Khan a whole new meaning of Life, enriched with experiences, both horrific, and rewarding. New findings about the purpose, meaning and aim of human existence dawned on him while he marveled at the wonder and magic of Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery that transformed his being, almost like a “Karmic rebirth”.

This led to his undying quest for therapies & treatments that heal the physical suffering, mental pain, dejection of the spirit & trauma of the hopelessness caused by Life’s trials & tribulations. He targeted that 99.9% of the population, which seeks various ways of escapism in this chaotic world, by means of holidays, adventures, sports, yoga, and/or meditation.

All these individual activities or in combination of programmes have now yielded the perfect mix of spa programmes to satisfy the body, mind and spirit completely at one single glorious location.

… A DREAM COME TRUE

For the current “Chairman and Managing Director” of WORLD RESORTS LIMITED, a Seven Star Hotel cum Health Spa Project at Bangalore, this, acted as the catalyst that motivated him to set up the splendid “Golden Palms Spa and Hotel”

The weeks of highly charged creativity, interspersed with mental trauma and physical exhaustion, riddled with obstacles and delays helped in the evolvement of his personality as a business personae.

The unstinted support of the enterprising, innovative team of architects, engineers, consultants, advisors and employees played an imperative role in the completion of his dream. The unprecedented response and encouragement of his family, friends, collaborators, and partners further compelled him to dedicate his life and time to future Life Enhancement Projects.

“I hope “Golden Palms Hotel & Spa” fulfils a dream in part or whole, for everyone who partakes of the Spa experience. I have tried to create an enhanced abode for individuals in search of a perfect life enhancement thereon on planet Earth at The Golden Palms Hotel & Spa”, says a humble Sanjay Khan.
