srk wins First National Award
Shah Rukh Khan Wins First National Award , After 33 Years In Cinema : Shah Rukh Khan has finally received a National Film Award for his role in Jawan, marking a significant milestone in his illustrious career.
The 71st National Film Awards 2023 will be memorable for many reasons. One, however, that topped all else is the news that Shah Rukh Khan earned his first National Film Award. The actor’s wait has been more than three decades long, and this year’s award, for Atlee’s film Jawan, came quite expectedly.
srk wins First National Award : How the prestigious award eluded SRK until now
Often hailed as the King of Bollywood, Shah Rukh made his debut in 1992 with Deewana and quickly rose to become one of the most beloved and bankable actors in the country. Despite starring in numerous critically acclaimed and blockbuster films like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Swades, Chak De! India, and My Name Is Khan, the prestigious National Award had remained just out of reach—until now.
In Swades (2004), Shah Rukh portrayed Mohan Bhargava, a NASA engineer reconnecting with his homeland. His restrained, introspective performance broke away from his romantic hero image. Despite critical acclaim, the National Award for Best Actor that year went to Saif Ali Khan for Hum Tum, a romantic comedy.
Then came Chak De! India in 2007, in which Shah Rukh played Kabir Khan, a disgraced hockey coach seeking redemption. This powerful, quietly intense portrayal led to the film winning the National Award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment. Yet again, Shah Rukh was overlooked. The Best Actor award that year went to Hrithik Roshan for Dhoom 2.
