King of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan has won Best Actor at the Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Awards (DPIFF) 2024 for his role in the film ‘Jawan’.
In a video posted by a fan account, the 58-year-old actor expressed gratitude for the honour, mentioning that he had not received such an award in a while.
Shah Rukh also joked that it felt like he would not get it again and said, “I thank the jury who considered me worthy of the Best Actor award. I have not received the Best Actor Award in a long time. It seemed as if I would not get it again. I am extremely happy.”
“I like awards. I am a bit greedy. Vidhu Vinod Chopra likes it more than me. We will share it Vinod,” he added.
Shah Rukh also paid thanks to all the team members of his film Jawan, saying, “I am genuinely very thrilled and touched that people have recognized the work that I have put in. The work of an artist is not important all the people around him or she make everything come together.”
He continued, “So a lot of people’s hard work is involved in making Jawan and helping me win this award. I promise I will keep working hard and entertain India and people who are living abroad.”
This is the first award the actor has gotten for his movie in Jawan’. Apart from him, the movie features Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi, and Deepika Padukone in special roles.
