Shah Rukh Khan, the "King of Bollywood," has once again proven that his charm isn't limited to the silver screen. Following his first-ever National Award win for his powerhouse performance in Jawan, the actor's celebratory mood spilled onto social media, where he had a playful and heartwarming exchange with his wife, Gauri Khan. His request for her to "brag about me at dinner tonight" has gone viral, capturing the hearts of fans and showcasing the enduring romance at the core of their decades-long relationship.
The National Award: A Long-Awaited Victory
After a 33-year-long career filled with iconic roles, blockbusters, and countless accolades, Shah Rukh Khan finally secured the National Award for Best Actor. The win, shared with Vikrant Massey for his role in 12th Fail, was a momentous occasion not just for SRK, but for his legions of fans who have long believed he deserved the honor for his past performances, especially for films like Swades. The victory for Jawan, a film that was both a critical and commercial success, feels like a culmination of his phenomenal comeback year.
Gauri's Pride and SRK's Witty Response
In the wake of the announcement, Gauri Khan, a producer on Jawan and a constant pillar of support, took to social media to celebrate. She posted a heartfelt message, sharing a picture with Shah Rukh, Rani Mukerji, and Karan Johar, all of whom also won National Awards for their respective work. Gauri wrote, "Three of my absolute favourites just WON big…and so did our hearts ❤️ When talent meets goodness, magic happens - So proud, and so ready to brag about them forever!"
It was Shah Rukh's reply to this post that stole the show. In his signature witty and endearing style, he responded directly to Gauri, with a touch of playful flirtation. "Please brag about me to me when we sit for dinner tonight thanks for producing the film," he wrote. This simple yet profound message perfectly encapsulated the essence of their relationship—a blend of deep affection, mutual respect, and a lighthearted banter that has been a joy for fans to witness over the years.
More Than an Award: A Family Celebration
The National Award win for Shah Rukh Khan has been a family affair. His daughter, Suhana Khan, also celebrated the milestone with a nostalgic throwback photo, while SRK himself shared a video message expressing his gratitude to the jury, his team, and his family. His special note to Gauri, however, stands out. It’s a reminder that behind the superstar persona, the global icon, and the "King Khan," there is a man who cherishes the simple, intimate moments with the people he loves most. His request to Gauri wasn't just a witty comment; it was a testament to the fact that for him, the greatest recognition is the love and pride of his family, celebrated over a quiet dinner at home.
