Bollywood's Baadshah Shah Rukh Khan has finally received the first National Award of his career. He was honored for the film 'Jawaan' at the 71st National Film Awards ceremony. However, with this honor, a new debate has gained momentum on social media. Questions are being raised as to why Shah Rukh did not receive a single National Award for so many years, even though he has given many memorable and influential films before this, which are considered cult classic films in today's time.
'Swades' ignored?
It is impossible to talk about Shah Rukh Khan's acting and not mention 'Swades'. The sensitivity and simplicity he showed in the role of an NRI scientist in this film are still alive in the hearts of the audience. This is the reason why many users on social media are angry that a film like 'Swades' was ignored and 'Jawaan' was awarded the National Award.
Users gave reactions
A user commented on this matter and wrote, 'The system that ignored 'Swades' but honored 'Jawaan' needs introspection.' Another user wrote, 'SRK should have got the National Award for 'Swades', 'Jawaan' is just a film full of stardom.' Apart from this, a user has mentioned his four films - My Name is Khan, Chak De India, Devdas, and Swades. The user commented that Shah Rukh should have gotten the National Award for all these four films.
At the same time, another user wrote - It was a long wait, but finally it happened! Shah Rukh is getting his first National Award for the film Jawaan. It is hard to believe that he never got it for Swades, Chak De India, or My Name is Khan, but I am happy that now he is getting this recognition.'
Shah Rukh Khan's film career
Shah Rukh Khan has been active in the film industry for 33 years, and during this time, he has won the hearts of millions of people with his acting in films like 'Chak De India', 'My Name is Khan', 'Devdas', 'Dear Zindagi', 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai'. In such a situation, the question is bound to arise as to why he had to wait for so many years for the National Award?
