Actor Hristo Mutafchiev, who was a member of the jury that elected Rashidov, handed him the honourable plate.

The stars already shining on the Walk of Fame belong to football star Hristo Stoitchkov, folk singer Valya Balkanska, pop singer Lili Ivanova, violin virtuoso Vasko Vassilev, Bulgaria's first cosmonaut Georgi Ivanov, clarinet player Ivo Papazov and the three Maleeva sisters.
