After winning the prestigious National Award for Best Actor for his performance in Jawan, Shah Rukh Khan took to social media to share a deeply emotional thank-you message with his fans, colleagues, and family. Sporting his signature humility and wit, the actor delivered the message with just one hand, hinting at a current physical ailment but not letting it overshadow the moment.
In the video, Shah Rukh begins with, “Namaskar and Adab. Needless to say I’m overwhelmed with gratitude, pride and humility. To be honoured with the National Award is a moment that I will cherish for a lifetime.” He went on to thank the jury, the I & B ministry, and everyone who believed in him.
SRK Acknowledges Directors, Team, and Jawan Crew
The actor specially thanked his directors from 2023, including Rajkumar Hirani (Dunki), Siddharth Anand (Pathaan), and Atlee, under whose direction Jawan became a mass phenomenon. “Especially thanks to Atlee sir and his team for giving me the opportunity in Jawan and trusting me to deliver and be worthy of this award,” Khan said.
Adding his signature flair, he addressed Atlee directly: “Atlee sir, this is like you say, mass.”
SRK’s Personal Shoutouts and Emotional Tribute to Family
SRK praised his team for putting up with his “eccentricities and impatience” and making him “look much better than I am, like even now in this video.” He also took a moment to express love for his family: “My wife and kids who over the last few years give me so much more love and care as if I’m the kid in the house and want only the best from me.”
He acknowledged how his obsession with cinema often takes him away from home but said his family bears it “with a smile,” allowing him the space to chase his passion.
SRK Delivers a Reminder and a Promise
Shah Rukh Khan reflected on the larger meaning of this recognition. “An astronaut award is not just about achievement. It’s a reminder that what I do matters,” he said, adding that the award pushes him to “keep working hard, keep creating, and keep serving cinema.”
He called the award a “reminder that acting is not just a work, it is a dream,” and thanked fans “for all the cheers and all the tears and really thank you for pausing. You’re scrolling while watching my work.”
SRK Signs Off with Charm and a Promise to Return
In typical SRK fashion, he ended on a light yet touching note, saying, “This award is for you. As each award is. And yeah, 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 screen… So till then, just with one hand.”
Caption for his post read, “Thank you for honouring me with the National Award. Thanks to the jury, the I&B ministry… Iss samman ke liye Bharat Sarkar ka dhanyawaad. Overwhelmed with the love showered upon me. Half a hug to everyone today….”
