Mumbai: Bollywood’s King, Shah Rukh Khan, has recently revealed the special place where he keeps all his national and international awards to give his fans a rare peek into his life beyond the silver screen.
Indian media reports have it that in a recent interview, Shah Rukh Khan fondly referred to as SRK had a deep affection for award shows. “I really love these award shows and I just like to go on every show,” the actor admitted. Not only can we see how much he cherishes such occasions from his appearance but also how he values and respects awards.
Not A Trophy Cabinet But A Library
Shah Rukh Khan’s house does not have your average ‘trophy cabinet’. He has something far more unique: a library. An English-style library is where Shah Rukh has kept all of his national and international awards. These shelves do not just hold books; they are full of stories that make up part of their owner’s life.
“I’ve kept all my national and international awards in this English-style library”, added the megastar. For over 300 awards which have been collected by Shah Rukh Khan through his time in the film industry career, this library is symbolic of the same journey that he took. Such an idea reveals one thing about him; it shows us the uniqueness of this man’s personality, tastes, and artistic mind.
An Acknowledgment for His Works In Indian Cinema
The reason behind his setting up a library is not only to display accolades but also to create a sanctuary reflecting upon his journey and contributions to Indian cinema. According to him seeing these trophies brings him profound joy since they remind him about the hard work that brought them thus far and the impact made on the cinema sphere at large.
For instance, on each floor of his nine-floor office, there are some of those trophies exhibited as if there were some kind of museum. Looking at these trophies kept on different floors of his office brings him happiness and tranquility. “These awards remind me of my contributions to Indian cinema,” noted SRK as he talks about the emotional connection he shares with these tokens of appreciation.
A Love for Awards, Especially Those Outside India
Shah Rukh Khan also admitted to having great fun winning awards. “I am a little bit unashamed when it comes to these awards,” he laughed, while specifically referring to international ones. Despite his busy schedule, SRK never misses out on award nights even if that means disrupting his tight calendar. His love for global recognition is a demonstration of the pride he possesses in representing India’s film industry at an international level.
An Unmatched Career Success
It should be mentioned here that Shah Rukh Khan has appeared in more than 100 films which have contributed to making him one of the world’s best-loved and most successful actors. These performances have not only captured hearts all over the world but they have also won numerous awards for him.
With over 300 awards won including an impressive 14 Filmfare Awards throughout his illustrious film career, Shah Rukh Khan holds the record in this area among other well-known Bollywood stars. Such accolades are not just a measure of his success but mirror how consistently he could interact with moviegoers as well as critics alike.
Shah Rukh Khan’s Legacy
One of the best things about SRK is how he displays his awards. It shows that he is one unique person who is creative, thoughtful, and has a deep connection with his roots. His library full of awards stands as a living testament to an illustrious career that has not only immensely succeeded but also left an indelible mark on the face of movies.
As SRK keeps mesmerizing people with his roles, his library will surely keep expanding, thus reminding everyone of the legacy that will continue resonating with generations to come.
