Better Late Than Never: Shah Rukh Khan Wins Maiden National Award For Jawan
While fans are elated with the win and celebrating, they cannot help but wonder what took 33 years SRK to win the honour. Social media platforms have listed four films that should have earned Shah Rukh Khan the National Award long back. Take a look. (Image: Instagram)
Fans believe Shah Rukh Khan deserved to win the Best Actor award for Devdas (2002). Considered a masterclass in acting by many, the Sanjay Leela Bhansali film was truly poetry in motion. That year, Ajay Devgn won the nod for The Legend of Bhagat Singh. (Image: IMDb)
Chak De! India (2007), another hallmark film in Shah Rukh Khan's career, was a surprise hit. The Shimit Amin-directed film struck the chords of fans, and is still regarded as one of the best performances of the actor. While the film won Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment, the Best Actor award was won by Prakash Raj for the Tamil movie Kanchivaram that year. (Image: IMDb)
And finally, Karan Johar-directed My Name Is Khan (2010) saw SRK in a light like no other. The sensitive acting won him praises all over, along with several awards. The National Award, however, was shared by Dhanush (Aadukalam) and Salim Kumar (Adaminte Makan Abu) that year. (Image: IMDb)
But finally, Shah Rukh Khan is getting his due. Jawan was a massive blockbuster that rightly deserves all the accolades. The actor shared a moving video thanking his fans, directors, and family for their unwavering support. He will next be seen in King, along with his daughter Suhana. (Image: IMDb)

Saina Nehwal's post with Parupalli Kashyap 19 days after announcing separation: ‘Here we are, trying again'
A fortnight after announcing she and Kashyap Parupalli had decided to part ways, Indian badminton superstar Saina Nehwal has said on Saturday that they are 'trying again' in an Instagram post. 'Sometimes distance teaches you the value of presence. Here we are—trying again,' read Saina's post on her social media account. Saina and Kashyap, who trained together in their early days at the Pullela Gopichand badminton academy, got married in December 2014. While she is officially yet to retire from the sport, 38-year-old Kashyap has transitioned into coaching at the academy where he works with the singles players along with the likes of Guru Sai Dutt. At the peak of his career, Kashyap had broken into the world top 10 and most memorably clinched the 2014 Commonwealth Games gold. Saina, of course, is one of India's greatest athletes, having broken through on the international scene at a time when China was the dominant force. She became a global icon with her Olympic bronze and ascent to the world No. 1 in BWF rankings. A post shared by SAINA NEHWAL (@nehwalsaina) In an earlier statement, posted on July 14 as an Instagram story, Saina had written: 'Life takes us in different directions sometimes. After much thought and consideration, Kashyap Parupalli and I have decided to part ways. We're choosing peace, growth, and healing – for ourselves and each other,' Saina wrote in her statement. 'I'm grateful for the memories and wish nothing but the best moving forward. Thank you for understanding and respecting our privacy during this time,' she had added. Saina, who hasn't played since her first-round exit at the Singapore Open in June 2023, has battled injuries in the latter part of her career. She is the first Indian badminton player to have won an Olympic medal, having finished with a bronze at London 2012, in a career of many firsts. She is also the first Indian to have reached the final of the badminton World Championships, and the first Indian to have won the BWF World Junior Championships. In a social media post earlier this year, popular badminton commentator and former doubles player Gill Clark had described 35-year-old Saina's legacy as remarkable, stating that she was the player who inspired a badminton revolution in India. 'Like Billie Jean King, the former tennis player and winner of a staggering 39 Grand Slam titles, who probably did more to enhance and promote women's sport globally than any other athlete in history, Saina made such an impact that she, along with a handful of other female athletes including Karnam Malleswari (weightlifting) and Mary Kom (boxing) helped change perceptions of women's sport in India,' Clark had written. 'Saina not only created interest and inspired mass participation of badminton within her home country, her results made others also believe success was possible, and not just for female players. H S Prannoy credited her mindset for a change in all Indian players when facing tougher opponents.'
