SRK wins first National Award, strikes iconic pose despite injury



MUMBAI: King Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, is beaming with joy after winning his first-ever National Film Award. The actor bagged the Best Actor award at the 71st National Film Awards for his powerful performance in ‘Jawan.’

Even though he is recovering from an injury, Shah Rukh made sure to thank his fans and everyone who supported him on his journey. In a video shared on X, Shah Rukh appeared in a black t-shirt and a beanie, with his arm in a sling. He stood in front of a bookshelf, smiling warmly, despite being a little “indisposed.”

The actor is currently healing from an injury he reportedly sustained while shooting for his upcoming film ‘King.’ In the video, Shah Rukh said he is feeling “overwhelmed with gratitude, pride, and humility.”

“To be honored with a National Award is a moment I will cherish for a lifetime. Thank you so much to the jury, the chairman, the I&B ministry, and everyone who thought I was worthy of this honor,” he said in the video. SRK, known for his witty sense of humour, couldn’t resist adding a touch of his signature style as he joked that he wanted to spread both arms for his fans but could only manage one, as he was a “bit indisposed.”

“I would love to spread my arms for you and share my love, but I’m a bit indisposed. But don’t worry, just keep the popcorn ready. I’ll be back in theaters and soon on the street. So, till then, just with one hand. Ready?” said SRK.
