Shah Rukh Khan 'thrilled' after securing Best Actor DPIFF award 2024

Shah Rukh Khan, King Khan of Bollywood, has clinched the honor of the Best Actor at the Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Awards (DPIFF) 2024 for his role in the film Jawan, on Tuesday.

In a video posted by a fan account, the 58-year-old actor expressed gratitude for the honor, mentioning that he hadn't received such an award in a while.

Shah Rukh also joked that it felt like he "would not get it again".

After accepting the award the Pathaan actor said, "I thank 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 thank 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. Work of an artist is not important all the people around him or her 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."

"Whether it takes me to dance, to fall, to fly, to romance, to be evil, to be a bad guy, to be a good guy. Inshallah, I will keep working hard," Shah Rukh added.
