When you’re known as ‘King Khan,’ you’ve already conquered a lot. But even a superstar like Shah Rukh Khan finds new peaks to climb. After 33 amazing years in the film industry, he just snagged his very first National Award! He excitedly shared a video to celebrate this big win.
The 71st National Film Awards recently announced their latest winners. Among the big names, SRK bagged the Best Actor honor. He won for his powerful role in the movie ‘Jawan.’ This win marks a truly huge moment for the beloved superstar.
The actor couldn’t hide his excitement. He quickly shared a video on his X (formerly Twitter) account. In the clip, he poured out his deep gratitude. He made sure to thank the Government of India and the Information and Broadcasting Ministry. He also gave a shout-out to the jury members for their decision.
SRK didn’t forget the people who helped him bring ‘Jawan’ to life. He thanked director Atlee and the entire crew behind the film. He even mentioned the directors of all his 2023 films, giving Atlee a special nod. And of course, he gave heartfelt thanks to his wife, children, and all his devoted fans for their endless love and support.

‘Jawan’ truly earned its praise. The film, directed by Atlee, was a massive hit at the box office. It shattered many earning records. SRK shared the screen with talented actors like Nayanthara and Vijay Sethupathi in lead roles. Deepika Padukone also made a special guest appearance. Sanya Malhotra and Priyamani played key supporting parts.
Now, for something that caught everyone’s eye in his thank-you video. SRK looked a little banged up! He was wearing a belt on one shoulder. This suggested an injury. This sparked whispers among fans. Earlier, rumors said he got hurt while shooting his upcoming movie, ‘King.’ The ‘King’ team, however, quickly shut down those reports. But seeing him with the shoulder support still makes you wonder. Either way, even with a possible injury, his smile shined bright as he celebrated this big win!
