Shah Rukh Khan says ‘acting is responsibility' on winning National award, shares video wearing elbow sling as he recovers post surgery
Shah Rukh Khan took to his micro-blogging site Twitter (now X) and dropped a video message. He said, "Namaskaar and adaab. Needless to say, I'm overwhelmed with gratitude, pride, and humility to be honored with the National award that I'll 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 one. I would like to thank all of my directors and writers, especially for the year 2023. So, thank you Raju sir, thank you Sid and especially, thank you Atlee sir and his team for giving me the opportunity in Jawan."
The actor further added, "I want to thank my team and management which works tirelessly with me. They bear with my eccentricities and impatience and give me their full attention and make me look much better than I am. This award, without the perseverance and love, would not be possible at all. Thank you so much for everything you do. My wife and kids, who over the last few years gave me so much more love and care as if I am the kid in the house and want only the best for me. They know my obsession with cinema takes me away from them but they all bear it with a smile and allow me the time. So, thank you so much for that.
The Pathaan actor went on to add, "The national award is not just about achievement; it's a reminder that what I do matters. It tells me to keep going, keep working hard, keep creating, and keep serving cinema."
"In a world full of noise to be heard, truly heard, is a blessing, and I promise to use this recognition not as a finish line but as fuel to continue striving, learning, and giving back. It is a reminder that acting is not a job but a responsibility to bring truth to the screens. And then lastly to my fans, thank you for all the cheers and all the tears. Really, thank you for pausing your scroll while watching my work. This award is for you, as each award is. I would love to spread my arms for you and share my love, but I'm a bit indisposed. But don't worry, just keep the popcorn ready, I'll be back in theatres and soon on the stream, so till then, just with one hand 'ready'," the Superstar concluded.
In the video clip of 2 minute and 17 seconds long, Shah Rukh Khan can be seen wearing a black Tee and a white beanie. His right arm is in a medical sling- suggesting that the actor is recovering from the injuries he got on the sets of his next venture, King.

Who is Sohael Khaturiya's first wife? Meet Rinky Bajaj, best friend of Hansika Motwani
Sohael Khaturiya and Hansika Motwani's married life took a major turn! The actress has deleted all the pictures of her husband from her social media handle, hinting towards their separation.

Before Hansika, Sohael was married to Rinky Bajaj. Here's everything you need to know about Sohael Khaturiya 's first wife. Sohael Khaturiya was first married to Rinky Bajaj. Both tied the knot after a short stint of dating in 2016. As per their wedding video on YouTube, Sohael and Rinky met on Facebook and started dating after a while. Rinky mentioned in the video that she told her mother about her relationship, a month before her CA exam. Interestingly, Hansika Motwani also attended their wedding ceremony. The actress can be seen enjoying all the ceremonies including Sangeet and Haldi in the video. Netizens claimed that Rinky Bajaj was Motwane's best friend. Sohael and Rinky couldn't remain together for a long time and parted ways after a couple of years. When Hansika Motwane faced massive trolling for tying knot with friend Rinky's ex-husband Later, the Guardian actress announced Sohael Khaturiya as her fiancé and shared pictures of his dreamy proposal at Eiffel Tower. The duo got married on December 4, 2022, in a grand ceremony. Reportedly, the two were friends for over 8 years before tying the knot.

Urvashi questions criterion for choosing National Award for Best Actress
The National Film Award jury's decision to award Urvashi and Vijayaraghavan in the supporting actor categories despite them playing lead roles in Ullozhukku and Pookkaalam respectively had raised eyebrows when the awards were announced last week. Now, the actress has raised questions about the criterion on which their performances were considered in the supporting category and not in the main category. Speaking to The Hindu on Monday, Urvashi said she is not questioning the awards given to any other actor, but wanted clarity on how her performance was considered under the best supporting actress category. 'I don't know if the old rules have changed over there. Earlier, actors who played lead roles were considered only for the best actor awards. Quite a few people, including young actresses, have been calling me and asking me about this particular decision of the jury, which made me decide to question the jury's decision. They are concerned whether they will also be ignored from being considered for the main categories. I am raising this question not for myself, but for the younger generation of actors as well as for the future generations. Silence is not an option at least in some matters related to justice. It will only end up encouraging wrong doing. I believe that a possibility of questions being raised might lead them to make just decisions in the future,' said Urvashi. Questioning the repeated instances of actors and films from the South being overlooked, she said her performance in J Baby was also recommended by the regional jury, but is unsure of whether the main jury watched it as there was not even a mention of it. 'I have no fear in speaking up as these are my own words. I have no connection with any political party. My questions are to the award jury, not the government. I will certainly accept the award because it is a recognition for the entire team of Ullozhukku,' she said. In Christo Tomy's Ullozhukku, Urvashi plays Leelamma who shares a fraught relationship with her daughter-in-law, played by Parvathy. Devastated by the death of her son and caught amid the revelation of unpleasant truths, the woman digs deep into her reserves of strength to navigate the troubled waters. The performance won her the Best Actress Award in the Kerala State Film Awards.
