Shah Rukh Khan, who was honored with the prestigious Pardo alla Carriera award for his contribution to cinema at the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland, recently talked about his “300 awards” and said that he has a dedicated room in his house. Is. He stores all his awards.
Shahrukh, who has been an actor for over three decades, said he is “shameless” when it comes to receiving awards and he loves the appreciation he receives from the audience. He also shared how he stores all the awards at his home and said that he has 300 awards.
In an interview with The Guardian, when asked if he had a special cabinet at his home to keep all the awards, he said, “I do. It’s bigger than this room! I have 300 awards. I have a nine-storey office and I have some awards on each floor. Actually, this is not a trophy room. It is a library which is designed like an English library.
When asked if he enjoys award ceremonies after so many years, he said, “I enjoy it. I am very shameless in this matter. I like receiving awards. I love ceremonies. If I have to give a speech, I get a little nervous.
The star then revealed that he feels a little nervous when he is on stage to receive honors on an international platform and he tries to control his sense of humor. “Especially with international awards, because then I need to ensure that Indian cinema is well presented.I have to control my sense of humor. Because cinema is a very important thing for India.”
This is not the first time that Shahrukh has expressed his love for awards. Recently at the 2024 Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Awards held in Mumbai, Shah Rukh Khan won the Best Actor award for Jawan. Here he said that he gets a bit “greedy” when it comes to getting awards.
Shah Rukh Khan will next be seen sharing the screen with his daughter, actor Suhana Khan in Sujoy Ghosh’s film King.
