Shah Rukh Khan spoke about having won an award after a long time.

Actor Shah Rukh Khan and filmmaker Mani Ratnam shared a delightful moment during the CNNNews18's Indian of the Year 2023 awards during which both of them won awards in different categories.

The artistes who last worked together in 1998's Dil Se joked about making a film together again.

"Mani Ratnam, sir, now it's out in the open. I will dance 'Chaiyya Chaiyya' on top of a plane if we do a film," the Jawan actor said.

At the award ceremony, Shah Rukh Khan also spoke about having won an award after a long time. He thanked his fans for not writing him off even after a string of flops and revealed that he is very impulsive when it comes to signing films.

The superstar also opened up about his family struggles in the last few years. “The last four, five years have been a bit of a ride for me and my family. I am sure some of you also because of Covid and stuff," he said. "Most of my films flopped, a lot of specialists and analysts started writing my death-knell, some idiots did the same, which actually is the same thing, analysts and idiots. Not something that I really bother about.”

King Khan, however, ended his speech on a positive note. “But this is a time you need to be the hopeful, happy, honest storyteller, and continue doing whatever you are doing and kind of think this is a nasty plot twist, this is not the story you are living," he said. "And 100 percent is not the story’s end. Because somebody somewhere told me that life mein filmon ki tarah, anth mein, sad theek ho jaata hai. Aur agar theek na ho, toh anth nahi hai. Picture abhi baaki hai mere dost. And I believe in him because I believe that goodness begets goodness.”
