Not Karan Johar or Yash Chopra, Meet the man who gave Shah Rukh Khan a home and helped shape his rise to stardom, his name is...
Shah Rukh Khan's first-ever National Award for Jawan in 2024 was celebrated by millions, but one congratulatory message stood out. It wasn't from a fan or a co-star, it came from the man who gave him his first break and even a roof when he had nowhere to stay in Mumbai. The throwback that touched a superstar Film producer and actor Viveck Vaswani shared a nostalgic photo on X, writing, 'Congratulations to Shah Rukh Khan for the National Award! Long overdue but well-deserved!' Shah Rukh's reply was as personal as it was telling, 'Thanks for the wishes. It all started with you… Raju finally became a gentleman.' That one sentence summed up a friendship that began in the early '90s and quietly shaped Bollywood history. Thank u for the wishes. All started with you. Raju finally ban gaya gentleman. — Shah Rukh Khan (@iamsrk) August 3, 2025 The bond between SRK and Viveck was cemented during Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman (1992), a romantic drama directed by Aziz Mirza. Shah Rukh played Raju Mathur, an ambitious engineer in Mumbai, while Viveck not only co-produced the film but also played Lovelal Kukkreja. The movie, starring Juhi Chawla, Nana Patekar, and Amrita Singh, was the turning point in SRK's career. The man who opened his doors When a young SRK moved from Delhi to Mumbai, it was Viveck Vaswani who welcomed him into his home and guided him into the industry. They went on to work together in films like English Babu Desi Mem, Kabhie Haan Kabhie Naa, and King Uncle. Though life has taken them on different paths, Shah Rukh now runs a film empire while Viveck is a school dean, the warmth hasn't faded. As Viveck once said, 'We don't talk often, but when we do, nothing feels changed.' SRK's gratitude after the win Following his National Award, Shah Rukh posted on social media, thanking the jury, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, and his fans, 'I am overwhelmed by the love. Thank you for this honour.' Released in 2024, Jawan saw SRK in a dual role, mixing action, drama, and a social message on corruption. The film featured Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi, Deepika Padukone, and Sanya Malhotra. His next big project, King, will see him share the screen with daughter Suhana, Deepika Padukone, and Abhishek Bachchan.

Urvashi slams National Award jury for labelling her ‘supporting actress' despite lead role
Veteran actor Urvashi, who won the Best Supporting Actress award at the 71st National Film Awards for her role in the acclaimed Malayalam drama 'Ullozhukku', has publicly challenged the jury's decision. She asked pointed questions about the criteria used, saying, 'This is not pension money to silently accept.' Urvashi argued that her role was clearly a leading one—she and Parvathy Thiruvothu were both in contention for Best Actress. Recalling a similar experience back in 2006, she highlighted perceived age bias and backstage politics. She has urged greater transparency, calling on Minister Suresh Gopi to examine the awards process and ensure fairness for Malayalam cinema.

Urvashi questions Shah Rukh Khan's National Award win, demands clarity on jury's criteria, says 'on what...'
On August 1, when the 71st National Film Awards were announced, Shah Rukh Khan's fans erupted in joy — the superstar had finally won his first National Award for Best Actor (Jawan) after 33 years in cinema. But not everyone was convinced the decision was fair. Actor Urvashi, who bagged Best Supporting Actress for Ullozhukku, publicly questioned the jury's reasoning, pointing out what she felt were inconsistencies in the awards. What did Urvashi say? Speaking to Asianet News, Urvashi asked, 'Vijayaraghavan is such a great actor. What exactly did the jury consider to distinguish between Vijayaraghavan's and Shah Rukh Khan's performances? How did one become a supporting actor and the other the best actor? On what criteria? We should raise such questions, as we too are taxpaying citizens.' She argued that Vijayaraghavan's portrayal in Pookkaalam was far from a small feat — it required physical transformation and intense preparation. She revealed that she had declined a role opposite him in the same film because of the long makeup hours required. 'Even if you pay me crores, I wouldn't do it. But he, at his age, endured all of that and performed. That alone deserves at least a Special Mention.' The awards in question Shah Rukh Khan shared the Best Actor award with Vikrant Massey (12th Fail). Vijayaraghavan received Best Supporting Actor for his role as a 100-year-old man in Pookkaalam. Urvashi shared Best Supporting Actress with Janki Bodiwala (Vash). Urvashi stressed her concerns weren't about undermining anyone's talent, but about transparency. 'That's all I'm asking — there must be some fairness.' Who is Urvashi? Urvashi is a veteran of South Indian cinema with a career spanning over four decades and more than 700 films in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Hindi. She started acting at age 10 and has two National Film Awards, six Kerala State Film Awards, and two Tamil Nadu State Film Awards to her name. Her acclaimed performances include Kazhakam, Achuvinte Amma, and Charles Enterprises.
