When Shah Rukh Khan Said He Deserved National Award For Swades Over THIS Actor
Shah Rukh Khan won his first-ever National Film Award for Best Actor on Friday, for his brilliant performance in Atlee's Jawan. The 71st National Film Awards were announced last night, and Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan won Best Actor in a Leading Role for his remarkable performance in Atlee's Jawan. This marks his first-ever National Award in an acting career spanning 33 years, making it a significant milestone. Many believe Shah Rukh Khan's best chance at a National Award was in 2005 (during 52nd National Film Awards) for his role in Swades. However, that year, Saif Ali Khan won the award for Hum Tum. A throwback video that has now gone viral on social media shows that even Shah Rukh thought he deserved the award more than Saif. The throwback video is from a Tag Heuer event in the late 2000s. It shows Shah Rukh on stage with director Kunal Kohli and anchor Mandira Bedi. When Kunal asked Shah Rukh about his favourite films, Shah Rukh responded by saying he has a good heart and likes all films, heroes, and heroines. Shah Rukh praised Kunal's work, mentioning that Fanaa was very good and Hum Tum was nice. He added that Saif Ali Khan won the National Award for Hum Tum, but he felt he should have received it instead. Shah Rukh then laughed, and even Kunal Kohli smiled sheepishly at the remark. 'Fanaa was very good. I think Hum Tum was very nice. His actor won the National Award for Hum Tum when I think I should have got it, but that's another story," said Shah Rukh Khan. Check out the throwback video below! Meanwhile, fans are happy and celebrating Shah Rukh Khan's achievement; however, many are confused that the actor won for Jawan when films like Swades, Chak De India, and My Name Is Khan were snubbed. After his National Award win for Jawan, Shah Rukh Khan shared a video on social media, expressing his gratitude for the honour. 'I am overwhelmed with gratitude, pride, and humility. To be honoured with a National Award is a moment that I will cherish for a lifetime. Thank you so much to the jury, the chairman, and to the I&B ministry, and to everyone who thought I was worthy of this honour," he said. 'I want to thank all my directors and writers, especially for the year 2023. So, thank you, Raju sir, thank you, Sid, and especially, thanks to Atlee sir and his team for giving me the opportunity in Jawan and trusting me to deliver," he said. He also expressed gratitude to his wife Gauri, and their children Aryan, Suhana, and AbRam. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
