For the unversed, Shah Rukh was honoured to ‘recognise his exceptional contribution to the film industry’ at the festival. Talking about the same, Shah Rukh said, “I shamelessly and brazenly say I like awards. I like the whole idea because it’s not for a specific job that I have done. I have been trying to make people happy for the last 32 years, sometimes successfully, sometimes not, but I feel nice,” in a recent conversation with TV presenter Raya Abirached.

Adding further, King Khan continued and asserted, “I sometimes feel being recognised for this work is not something individual, it’s for the film industry in India. I am very fortunate and lucky that I get chosen in places to be the face of the Indian film industry. I am just very happy that I can go and tell the stories of Indian films and how we make cinema to the rest of the work and bring it forth, hopefully, people will see them more around, whether I am in those films or not.”
