In a monumental moment that has sent ripples of joy through the Indian film industry and his global fanbase, Shah Rukh Khan has won his first-ever National Award for his performance in the blockbuster film Jawan. The prestigious recognition for Best Actor, which he shares with Vikrant Massey for 12th Fail, marks a significant and long-awaited milestone in his illustrious career spanning over three decades.
The win for his dual roles as Vikram Rathore and his son Azad in Atlee's high-octane action film is a testament to Khan's enduring talent and versatility. While fans and critics have long argued for his National Award eligibility for earlier performances in films like Swades and Chak De! India, the recognition for Jawan is particularly poignant. The film was not only a massive commercial success but also a powerful social commentary, allowing Khan to deliver a performance that blended his signature charisma with a profound sense of purpose.
Reacting to the honor, Khan expressed his gratitude, humility, and the sense of responsibility the award carries. He thanked the jury, the Information and Broadcasting Ministry, his directors—especially Atlee—and his family for their unwavering support. He viewed the award not as a "finish line" but as "fuel to continue striving, learning, and giving back" to cinema.
This achievement, a first for both Shah Rukh Khan and Vikrant Massey, underscores a year of exceptional performances and further solidifies the superstar's legacy as the "King of Bollywood." Now, 21 years later, Shah Rukh Khan has won the National Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role for his performance in Jawan. His award was announced by jury chairman for the feature films category, Ashutosh Gowariker, the director of Swades. Fans were elated to note this happy coincidence and took to social media to express their joy.
