In a proud moment for Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan has finally added a National Film Award to his legendary career. His blockbuster film ‘Jawan’ not only conquered the box office but now also earned him the highest cinematic honour in India — making this a truly iconic milestone in his journey.
A Long-Awaited Honour for the King of Bollywood
Despite delivering countless iconic performances in films like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Swades, Chak De! India, and My Name is Khan, Shah Rukh had never won a National Award — until now. With ‘Jawan’, he has broken that streak, proving once again why he’s called the King of Bollywood.
