Shah Rukh Khan is clearly riding high on a wave of celebration, as he basks in the glory of winning his first-ever National Award in a career spanning over three decades. And if his recent social media exchanges are anything to go by, the superstar is not just proud, but also in a charmingly playful mood—especially with his wife, Gauri Khan.
After being named Best Actor at the 71st National Film Awards for his powerful dual performance in Jawan, Shah Rukh’s joy was shared by many in the industry, including close friends Rani Mukerji and Karan Johar, who also secured wins.
Gauri Khan took to social media to express her pride, dedicating a heartfelt post to her husband and their long-time friends.
She wrote, “Three of my absolute favourites just WON big…and so did our hearts . When talent meets goodness, magic happens - So proud, and so ready to brag about them forever!”'
Please brag about me to me when we sit for dinner tonight… thanks for producing the film. https://t.co/92rCAl0sMZ— Shah Rukh Khan (@iamsrk) August 3, 2025
To this, Shah Rukh responded with his signature wit and warmth, cheekily replying, “Please brag about me to me when we sit for dinner tonight… thanks for producing the film.”
Their daughter, Suhana Khan, also joined in to celebrate her father’s milestone. Sharing a sweet throwback photo with him, she wrote, “From bedtime stories to stories that leave a mark, no one tells them like you. Congratulations. Love you the most."
To which Shah Rukh replied, “Thank you, baby. Hope I can continue to entertain you with the bedtime stories… they don’t seem to be working like they used to. Guess I’ll just have to make do with my movies working then… ha ha."
Following the announcement on 1 August, Shah Rukh also posted a thank-you video to fans and the government, saying, “Thank you for honouring me with the National Award… Iss samman ke liye Bharat Sarkar ka dhanyavaad.”
