'No, no. If the country has honoured him, it's obviously a big thing. I would like to congratulate Shah Rukh Khan and all the people who got this big award. Thank you," he stated, sending his best wishes to each and every recipient. Shah Rukh Khan's performance in the movie "Jawan" earned him his first National Award for Best Actor on August 1. Urvashi, a South actress, started the controversy by quietly casting doubt on SRK's National Award victory. Urvashi pointed to the jury's unfair decisions while accepting the Best Supporting Actress award for "Ullozhukku." She allegedly questioned what made Jawan deserving of Best Actor honors, without specifically mentioning Shah Rukh, while veteran Malayalam actor Vijayaraghavan's stirring performance wasn't even taken into consideration for the lead category.

Veteran actor Mukesh Khanna defended Shah Rukh Khan in the face of increasing criticism over the actor's National Award victory.

Rahman received the Oscar for 'Jai Ho' and not for the various beautiful songs he created in the past," he informed IANS. "Shah Rukh has been working hard for the past 40 years now—so what is wrong if he has received a National Award?"

Lilliput compares SRK's acting in Zero to Kamal Haasan: Not even the dust on his feet
Actor Liliput recently shared his views on Anand L Rai's 'Zero' (2018), which depicted a protagonist with dwarfism. He criticised actor Shah Rukh Khan's portrayal in the film, while comparing his performance to actor Kamal Haasan's acting prowess in 'Appu Raja (1989).In an interview with Red FM Podcasts, Lilliput said, "Someone who is not blind will act like they are blind but for a person who is not a dwarf, how will you act like a dwarf? Because dwarfs are normal, their hand movements are normal, they laugh and think like anyone else, they only look a different way. So how will you act that out? You will make him look smaller technically."advertisement"We know you are good looking and cute so our impression of what you are ends there. We are not looking at a dwarf, we are looking at a hero who has been made to look like a dwarf via visual effects,' he said and asked, 'And what is your script trying to say," the actor went on. While drawing parallels between Khan and Haasan's performances in 'Zero' and 'Appu Raja' respectively, the 'Mirzapur 3' actor said, "You look at Appu Raja's intelligence. Kamal Haasan picked out the details of the physicality of a dwarf person. Dwarfs are a little distorted, their fingers are smaller, a little thicker, arms, face and feet are different so when you are not able to leave an impact, then why are you making it? And how could you think that you would leave an impact?""Kamal ji ki aap copy kar rahe ho, unki acting ki. Charno ki dhool bhi nahi ho aap (You are copying Kamal ji. You imitate his him. And you are not even equal to the dirt on his feet)," he Rukh recently won a National Award for Best Actor for Atlee's 'Jawan'.

'Camera tricks can't replace realism' In a recent podcast appearance, Lilliput criticised the portrayal of dwarfism in films by non-dwarf actors, calling it inauthentic. He pointed out that unlike conditions such as blindness, which can be mimicked through performance, dwarfism doesn't require behavioural imitation—since individuals with dwarfism express themselves like anyone else.
