SRK Bagged National Award:

Shah Rukh Khan recently secured the Best Actor award at the 71st National Film Awards for his outstanding performance in Jawan. Fans are overjoyed and are celebrating Shah Rukh Khan's win; however, many are confused that the actor won for Jawan when his films like 'Swades', 'Chak De India', and 'My Name Is Khan' were snubbed.

Despite recovering from an injury, the superstar expressed his gratitude to fans and well-wishers. In a video posted on X, Shah Rukh, wearing a black t-shirt and a beanie with his arm in a sling, thanked fans with a warm smile. Reports indicate the injury occurred during the filming of his upcoming movie, 'King'.

Additionally, 'Jawan' director Atlee penned a heartfelt post on Instagram, expressing his joy over SRK's win. Calling himself a ‘fanboy' of Shah Rukh Khan, Atlee described Jawan as his ‘first love letter' to the superstar and promised many more to come, hinting at future collaborations. Atlee also thanked Gauri Khan, Red Chillies Entertainment, and various team members for their contributions. He also applauded singer Shilpa Rao for winning Best Female Playback Singer for 'Jawan' song ‘Chaleya'.
