Even though late... got the national award

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has delivered memorable performances in films like “Chak De India” and “Swadeesh” in his illustrious career. However, despite receiving critical acclaim, he has never won a National Award for his acting—but now it is possible.

For the first time, Shah Rukh Khan won the National Award for Best Actor for his dual roles as a father and son in the film “Jawan,” produced by his wife Gauri Khan under the banner of Red Chillies Entertainment. His performance in this high-octane action film was a great success.

Recognized as an icon of Indian cinema worldwide, Shah Rukh Khan has now won the country’s highest film honor with the commercial action entertainer “Jawan.” In recent years, there has been a change in the jury system of the National Film Awards. Awards are also being given for performances in mainstream action films. Allu Arjun won the award for his performance in the film “Pushpa.” Now Shah Rukh has joined the list with “Jawan”.

While many feel that Shah Rukh Khan should have received this honour earlier for his critically acclaimed roles, his fans are celebrating this belated recognition. The honour has been belatedly received.
