Shahrukh Khan’s ‘Jawaan’ won: Fulfilled after 19 years!

Shahrukh Khan got his first National Award for Jawaan, fans are still sad remembering Swades

Shahrukh Khan’s ‘Jawaan’ won

Finally the moment has come! Shah Rukh Khan won his first Best Actor award at the 69th National Film Awards.

His powerful performance in ‘Jawaan’ won the hearts of the jury and he shared this honour with Vikrant Massey.

But a question still lingers in the minds of fans…

The pain of ‘Swades’ is still fresh

The wound of ‘Swades’ is still fresh in the hearts of fans! In 2004 when Saif Ali Khan got the National Award for ‘Hum Tum’, Shah Rukh’s ‘Swades’ was ignored.

That character of Mohan Bhargava… that village return… that story of patriotism… everything was perfect!

When King Khan himself confessed

A video of an old Tag Heuer event is going viral, in which Shah Rukh jokingly tells Kunal Kohli and Mandira Bedi – “I should have got it for Swades!”

Although he was laughing, but there was some substance in his words!

Social media boils over

Ever since the announcement of the award, fans on Reddit and X have been praising ‘Swades’.

Many people wrote – “Better late than never, but the respect of Swades is still due!”

The film may have flopped at the box office, but with time its cultural identity has only grown.

Layers of jury controversy

It is said that there was a deep controversy in the jury that year over allegations of plagiarism.

Perhaps that is why ‘Swades’ was ignored. But should art be evaluated through the prism of controversies?

Emotional post on Instagram

After receiving the award, Shah Rukh wrote a heart-touching message on Instagram.

He called it not just an honor but also a responsibility – “the responsibility to show the truth on screen”.

Indeed, Shah Rukh’s words have the same depth as his acting.

The journey ahead

With this milestone, fans are now looking forward to Shah Rukh’s upcoming projects with enthusiasm.

King Khan’s cinematic journey will show many more colors, and perhaps now he will also win National Awards!

In brief:

Shahrukh got his first National Award for ‘Jawaan’, fans still remember ‘Swades’. In an old video, SRK himself admitted that the award should have been given to him.
