Shah Rukh Khan has won more than a hundred awards, two hundred and sixty-seven to precise in his glorious Bollywood career. He has time and again enthralled the audience by bringing something new to the table and has proved that with time you only keep growing and getting better at your craft. Talking about the appreciation and recognition that he receives for his work, the superstar said:
“I have said this openly, sometimes it may be taken wrongly, but I love being a movie star, I love being an actor, I love winning awards for my work. You reach a stage in your life as an actor; I have been working some years now where some kind of recognition, all artists, whether you are a singer, whether you are a poet, painter, a dancer, a choreographer, you just want applause. And somewhere down the line any award that I have received, I have always thought of it as collective applause for the work that I have done in a year or for a specific film. So yes I do keep tabs on awards and I want to keep winning them and I try very hard, I work very hard to get them. And when I don’t get them I feel extremely sad.”
Well, this is a very honest revelation by such a big star. Shah Rukh is currently gearing up for the release of his much-awaited film ‘Raees’, which will hit the theatres on 25th January 2017.
