‘I like awards’: Shah Rukh Khan
In a recent conversation with TV presenter Raya Abirached, Shah Rukh talked about how he ‘shamelessly and brazenly’ likes awards. He said that he likes the whole idea because it’s not for a specific job that he has done and has been trying to make people happy for the last 32 years, however, sometimes he is successful and, sometimes not, but he feels nice. Further, King Khan said that something being recognised for the work is not something individual, it’s for the film industry in India.
