Shah Rukh Khan wins his 1st National Award: 5 life lessons to learn from the King of Bollywood
Shah Rukh Khan is one of the biggest stars in Indian cinema. For over 30 years, he has entertained millions of people around the world with his acting, charm, and dedication to his work. He's been called the 'King of Bollywood,' has won dozens of popular awards, and starred in many iconic films. But in 2025, something special happened — he won his first-ever National Film Award for Best Actor, for his performance in Jawan. His journey to this honour has not been easy. It's been filled with ups and downs, hits and flops, love and loss. Yet through it all, SRK has remained strong, humble, and passionate. Here are five life lessons we can learn from his incredible path to this moment. Even though Shah Rukh Khan became a superstar very early in his career, it took him more than three decades to win a National Award. This teaches us that even if you are doing well, some achievements may take longer than expected. What matters is that you keep going, keep believing, and never give up. Success doesn't always come when you want it — it comes when the time is right. SRK started his career by playing villains, then became the ultimate romantic hero in the '90s and 2000s. Later, he took on more complex and action-filled roles like in Pathaan and Jawan. He has always tried something new and changed with the times. His journey shows that to stay relevant and grow in life, we need to be open to learning, changing, and trying different things — even if they scare us a little. There have been times when SRK faced failures at the box office, criticism from the public, and even personal heartbreak. But he never gave up or lashed out. He stayed quiet, focused on his work, and came back stronger. Life will not always be perfect, but how we deal with the hard times says a lot about who we are. SRK shows us that calm strength is more powerful than loud noise. Even after receiving one of the highest honours in Indian cinema, Shah Rukh Khan kept his message simple and sweet. He said, 'Overwhelmed with the love showered upon me. Half a hug to everyone today (sic).' He didn't brag or make a big speech. He just shared his love and gratitude. This reminds us that no matter how far we go in life, it's important to stay grounded and thankful. From the start of his career until now, Shah Rukh Khan's love for cinema has never faded. He puts his heart into every role and truly enjoys the process of filmmaking. He often says that acting and storytelling are like breathing for him — something he can't live without. His journey proves that if you are truly passionate about something, and you keep working hard at it, success will follow — even if it takes time. Shah Rukh Khan's journey to his first National Award is more than just a career milestone — it's an inspiring story of patience, growth, and passion. Whether you're a fan or not, there's something we can all learn from the way he has carried himself over the years. Keep going, stay humble, love what you do, and trust the journey — just like SRK.

Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 Update: Gayatri reveals Angad, Pari and Ritik are not Tulsi and Mihir's biological kids after Angad gets arrested
The latest episode of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 starts with police reaching the Shanti Niketan to arrest Angad. Mihir, Tulsi and the entire family ask the Inspector the reason behind arresting Angad and he reveals that they are arresting him for drink and drive. He further reveals that the blood test reports also prove that he was drunk while driving and caused the accident. But Angad denies the allegations and requests him parents to believe him. Tulsi refuses to trust him after hearing about the blood test reports and starts beating him. However, Mihir supports Angad but the cops arrest him and take to the police station. At the police station, Angad tells his parents that he wasn't the one driving the car and that his friend Sameer was behind the wheel, also claiming he wasn't drunk. While Mihir believes his version of the story, Tulsi remains doubtful and doesn't trust his words. When Tulsi calls Sameer, he lies and puts the entire blame on Angad. As Tulsi rushes from the police station disappointed, she bumps into a stranger who is there with a hidden motive. At home Tulsi is worried about Angad when Gayatri starts taunting him about not raising him well. However, Mihir defends Tulsi and says he is to be blamed equally as raising a child is both mother and father's responsibility. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Quinta Normal: Unsold Furniture Liquidation 2024 (Prices May Surprise You) Unsold Furniture | Search Ads Learn More Undo Furthermore, Gayatri shares that only Hemant, her son could have got Angad bail but he has already left for the US. Just then Hemant steps in to help Angad. Hemant cancels all his important meetings to support the family during the crisis. Just as Mihir is about to sign the bail papers arranged by Hemant, Tulsi intervenes. She firmly stops him and reminds everyone of the Virani family's values and principles, insisting that Angad, whom she still considers guilty, does not deserve to be granted bail. Mihir, who wants to get Angad released on bail doesn't agree with her thoughts and argues with her to think about the situation as mother. Just then Gayatri taunts Tulsi for not being Angad's real mother. She reveals that Angad, Pari and Ritik are not Mihir and Tulsi's biological kids. She shares that they are Kesar's children and Tulsi adopted them after her sister passed away. The other two children stand up for their mother, insisting that she has always treated them all with equal love and fairness. As emotions run high within the family, Tulsi quietly turns to prayer, hoping for some light in the midst of the turmoil. Meanwhile, a new Maharashtrian family is introduced. A young member of this family is shown protecting a plant from the heavy rain—just like Tulsi is doing at Shanti Niketan. It is shown that the CCTV footage of the accident was deleted to protect Angad's friend, Sameer, from going to jail. The Mumbai traffic police officer who helped with this turns out to be the brother of the Maharashtrian girl. The episode comes to an end. Inside pics!
