Recovering from an injury, Shah Rukh thanked his fans who supported him in his journey. In a video shared on X, Shah Rukh appeared in a black t-shirt and a beanie, with his arm in a sling. He stood in front of a bookshelf, smiling warmly, despite being a little "indisposed."
The actor is currently healing from an injury he reportedly sustained while shooting for his upcoming film King. Shah Rukh said he was "overwhelmed with gratitude, pride, and humility."
'To be honoured with a National Award is a moment I will cherish for a lifetime. Thank you so much to the jury, the chairman, the I&B ministry, and everyone who thought I was worthy of this honour,' he said in the video. SRK, known for his witty sense of humour, couldn't resist adding a touch of his signature style as he joked that he wanted to spread both arms for his fans but could only manage one, as he was a 'bit indisposed.'

Shah Rukh thanked the directors and writers who gave him strong roles in 2023. He made a special mention to Jawan director Atlee. 'So, thank you, Raju sir. Thank you, Saeed. And especially thanks to Atlee sir and his team for giving me the opportunity in Jawan and trusting me to deliver and be worthy of this award.'
In January 2023, Shah Rukh made his comeback to the big screen after a four-year hiatus with YRF's Pathaan. The film created a storm at the box office, drawing in a massive audience. After the blockbuster success of Pathaan, SRK treated fans to another hit, Jawan, which helped him earn his first National Award.

Rani Mukerji Visits Siddhivinayak Temple After Winning First National Award in 30 Years
Last Updated: Rani Mukerji visits Siddhivinayak Temple after winning her first National Award in 30 years for Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway. Rani Mukerji National Award: Rani marked a big personal and professional milestone over the weekend — and she did it with gratitude. Just days after winning her first-ever National Film Award for Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway, nearly three decades into her acting career, the actor was seen at Mumbai's famous Siddhivinayak Temple, offering prayers and seeking blessings. Photos from her visit were shared by the temple's official Instagram page, showing Rani standing near the altar with folded hands and a gentle smile. She wore a blue suit with a red shawl draped over her shoulders and had a tilak on her forehead. Rani was honoured with the Best Actress award for her powerful role in Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway, where she plays a mother in a legal battle to bring her children back. The film is based on the real-life story of Sagarika Chakraborty, an Indian woman who fought the Norwegian government for custody of her kids. In her statement after the win, Rani said, 'I'm overwhelmed to have won the National Award for my performance in Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway. Incidentally, this is the first-ever National Award in my 30-year career. As an actor, I have been fortunate to have some incredible films in my body of work and have received so much love for them." For Rani, this honour goes beyond just a trophy. She shared that the award holds a deeper emotional meaning because of the story it represents. 'I dedicate my National Award to all the incredible mothers of this world. There is nothing like a mother's love and her ferocity to protect her own. The story of this Indian immigrant mother, who went all out for her child and took on a nation, shook me deeply… a mother's love for her child is unconditional," she said. Rani celebrated her win with good friend, Shah Rukh Khan, who shared the Best Actor Award for Jawan with 12th Fail star Vikrant Massey. SRK's wife, Gauri Khan, posted a celebratory carousel that featured candid moments with Shah Rukh, Rani Mukerji and Karan Johar. In one picture, SRK is seen kissing Rani on her cheek. Gauri captioned the post, '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! 💕" First Published: August 03, 2025, 09:09 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
