Superstar Shah Rukh Khan has delivered many memorable performances throughout his illustrious career in films like “Chak De India” and “Swades.” However, despite the acclaim, he had never received a National Award for acting—until now.
For the first time, Shah Rukh Khan has won the Best Actor award for his dual role in “Jawan,” which he co-produced with his wife Gauri Khan under the Red Chillies Entertainment banner. He portrayed both a father and a son in the high-octane action film.
Recognized globally as one of India’s biggest cinematic icons, Shah Rukh Khan has now received the country’s highest film honor for a film widely regarded as an out-and-out commercial action entertainer. In recent years, the National Film Awards jury has shown a shift in approach by honoring performances in mainstream action films. Allu Arjun received the award for his role in the mass entertainer “Pushpa,” and now SRK follows with “Jawan.”
While many believe he deserved the recognition much earlier for his critically acclaimed roles, fans are celebrating this long-awaited honor. It’s better late than never.
