Shah Rukh Khan, Jawan And ChatGPT: How A Social Media Spat Turned Into An AI Showdown
The controversy began with a post from the social media handle @theskindoctor, which argued, "Shah Rukh Khan doesn't deserve the National Film Award for Best Actor for a masala film like Jawan." The user elaborated, "Shah Rukh is a good actor; he should've gotten the award for films like Swades, Dil Se, or Chak De! India. But not Jawan? What precedent are you setting by rewarding a messy action film?"
This post drew a detailed response from another user, @Thread_Sutra, who countered, "Totally disagree... The National Award is meant for excellence in acting, not just for those who do 'patriotic' or 'serious' films. Shah Rukh Khan delivered an incredible, powerful performance in Jawan, bringing depth, versatility, and mass appeal to the character." The comment further stated, "Awards should go to those who bring their roles to life-regardless of genre. Let's not gatekeep talent by sticking to outdated notions of what 'deserves' recognition. A great actor shines in every kind of role, and SRK proved exactly that. It's about acting, not just the subject."

The comment from @Thread_Sutra quickly gained traction and became a central point in the ongoing debate. However, the original poster, @theskindoctor, later shared a screenshot revealing that the entire response had been generated by ChatGPT with the simple prompt: "Write a strong counterargument aagainst this." The original poster's curt reply of "OK" to the revelation has since ignited a fresh and more profound discussion.
This new development has shifted the conversation from the merits of Khan's performance in Jawan to the ethics and implications of using AI to formulate public opinions. Social media users are now debating the authenticity of the "thoughts" expressed online and the potential for AI-generated content to influence or even dominate discussions.
"Everything everywhere seems like it was written by ChatGPT...what a mockery... I predict it will soon die its own death when everyone will stop believing what's written or expressed online...," commented a user.
"People still don't know how to use ChatGPT. What are you trying to say here? He replied to your tweet; he solved his main purpose, which was to reply and give a contrary view. That is. Ab bhai, vo ChatGPTuse kare ya apne bhai se puche ya perplexing. Usne apna kaam kardiyaa," wrote another user.

Urvashi Questions 71st National Award Jury: "'How Did Shah Rukh Khan Win Best Actor?"
New Delhi: The 71st National Film Awards were announced on August 1, and Shah Rukh Khan 's fans had a big reason to celebrate. The superstar bagged his first-ever National Award for Best Actor for his role in Jawan – a major milestone in his 33-year-long career. But not everyone is convinced about the decision. South actress Urvashi, who won Best Supporting Actress for Ullozhukku, has opened up about what she feels is a lack of fairness by the jury. In a chat with Asianet News, she pointed out a major concern: veteran Malayalam actor Vijayaraghavan only received the Best Supporting Actor award, even though his performance, according to her, deserved more. 'Vijayaraghavan is such a great actor. What exactly did the jury consider to distinguish between Vijayaraghavan's and Shah Rukh Khan's performances? How did one become a supporting actor and the other the best actor? On what criteria? We should raise such questions, as we too are taxpaying citizens. Kutettan (referring to Vijayaraghavan) has decades of experience in cinema. The film wasn't a big-budget, 250-day shoot kind of project like those in other languages,' she said. Urvashi further talked about how committed Vijayaraghavan was to his role in Pookkaalam, where he played a 100-year-old man. She mentioned that she was offered the role of his on-screen partner in the same film but had to say no because of the intense makeup demands. 'I was initially approached to play his pair in Pookkaalam. Still, I declined because the role required me to undergo a significant physical transformation, for which I would have had to be in the makeup chair for several hours. I told them, even if you pay me crores, I wouldn't do it. But he, at his age, endured all of that and performed. That alone deserves at least a Special Mention. How is he only a supporting actor? On what basis was that decided? That's all I'm asking — there must be some fairness,' Urvashi added. While Shah Rukh Khan shared the Best Actor title with Vikrant Massey for 12th Fail, Vijayaraghavan's award came in the supporting actor category. He played opposite veteran actress K. P. A. C. Leela in Pookkaalam, a Malayalam film released in 2023. Interestingly, Urvashi also shared her Best Supporting Actress award with Janki Bodiwala, who won for her work in the Gujarati film Vash.

Not Karan Johar or Yash Chopra, Meet the man who gave Shah Rukh Khan a home and helped shape his rise to stardom, his name is...
Shah Rukh Khan's first-ever National Award for Jawan in 2024 was celebrated by millions, but one congratulatory message stood out. It wasn't from a fan or a co-star, it came from the man who gave him his first break and even a roof when he had nowhere to stay in Mumbai. The throwback that touched a superstar Film producer and actor Viveck Vaswani shared a nostalgic photo on X, writing, 'Congratulations to Shah Rukh Khan for the National Award! Long overdue but well-deserved!' Shah Rukh's reply was as personal as it was telling, 'Thanks for the wishes. It all started with you… Raju finally became a gentleman.' That one sentence summed up a friendship that began in the early '90s and quietly shaped Bollywood history. Thank u for the wishes. All started with you. Raju finally ban gaya gentleman. — Shah Rukh Khan (@iamsrk) August 3, 2025 The bond between SRK and Viveck was cemented during Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman (1992), a romantic drama directed by Aziz Mirza. Shah Rukh played Raju Mathur, an ambitious engineer in Mumbai, while Viveck not only co-produced the film but also played Lovelal Kukkreja. The movie, starring Juhi Chawla, Nana Patekar, and Amrita Singh, was the turning point in SRK's career. The man who opened his doors When a young SRK moved from Delhi to Mumbai, it was Viveck Vaswani who welcomed him into his home and guided him into the industry. They went on to work together in films like English Babu Desi Mem, Kabhie Haan Kabhie Naa, and King Uncle. Though life has taken them on different paths, Shah Rukh now runs a film empire while Viveck is a school dean, the warmth hasn't faded. As Viveck once said, 'We don't talk often, but when we do, nothing feels changed.' SRK's gratitude after the win Following his National Award, Shah Rukh posted on social media, thanking the jury, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, and his fans, 'I am overwhelmed by the love. Thank you for this honour.' Released in 2024, Jawan saw SRK in a dual role, mixing action, drama, and a social message on corruption. The film featured Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi, Deepika Padukone, and Sanya Malhotra. His next big project, King, will see him share the screen with daughter Suhana, Deepika Padukone, and Abhishek Bachchan.
