Shah Rukh Khan Wins Best Actor
Shah Rukh Khan was honoured with the Best Actor National Film Award for his performance in Atlee’s Jawan, released in 2023. Despite being one of India’s most prominent global superstars, it took decades for him to receive this recognition, highlighting the prestige and rigor associated with the award.
Felicitations and Notable Attendees
SRK attended the ceremony dressed in a black bandhgala, dark sunglasses, and his signature cropped ponytail. He was seated alongside Rani Mukerji, his long-time collaborator and friend, who also received her first Best Actor National Award for Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway, released in 2023. Vikrant Massey was another recipient of his first national acting honour in the same category for 12th Fail.

On social media, Gauri Khan wrote, “What a journey it’s been @iamsrk. Congratulations on winning the National Award!!! So deserving… it’s a result of your years of hard work and dedication. Now I’m designing a special mantle for this award.”
Fans and followers echoed her sentiment, praising SRK’s decades-long dedication to cinema and celebrating his first National Award win.
