Mumbai, Aug 1 (NationPress) Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan, who has dedicated nearly 35 years to the film industry, is poised to receive his inaugural National Award for his performance in the action-packed film ‘Jawan’.
On Friday, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting announced this exciting news via their X account, previously known as Twitter.
Beginning his journey as a theater performer, SRK transitioned to television during its initial growth in India. He eventually made his foray into cinema, becoming the most successful actor to cross from television to the big screen.
His career kicked off with ‘Deewana’, followed by iconic anti-hero roles in ‘Baazigar’ and ‘Darr’, before solidifying his status as the eternal King of Romance with the timeless classic ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’.
In recent years, SRK appears to have shifted gears, focusing more on the action genre with releases like ‘Pathaan’ and ‘Jawan’.
Previously, it was reported that SRK sustained a muscle injury while filming his upcoming project ‘King’. The actor, who was last seen in ‘Dunki’, was flown to the USA for treatment, interrupting the shoot of ‘King’ for a month-long recovery.
The 'King Khan' of Bollywood is no stranger to injuries, having persevered through pain throughout his career. In December 2001, he suffered a spinal injury while executing an action sequence for a special role in Krishna Vamsi's Shakti: The Power. He was later diagnosed with a prolapsed disc and underwent various alternative therapies.
Unfortunately, none yielded a permanent resolution, leading to severe discomfort during shoots. By 2003, his condition deteriorated, necessitating an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion surgery at Wellington Hospital in London.
