Shashi Tharoor Congratulates Shah Rukh Khan, SRK Responds in Style After Winning His First National Award

Shah Rukh Khan’s long wait for national-level recognition finally ended as his blockbuster film Jawan bagged the National Award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment. The film not only won hearts at the box office but also earned the superstar his first National Award in decades of a legendary career.

But what followed the award was a wholesome moment between SRK and Shashi Tharoor that’s now winning hearts online.

Shashi Tharoor’s Classy Compliment

Congress MP and popular orator Shashi Tharoor took to social media to congratulate Shah Rukh Khan, praising Jawan for blending entertainment with a powerful social message. He called SRK a “king who rules not just the box office but also the hearts of millions.”

The tweet went viral, not just for its content but for the elegance with which Tharoor expressed admiration. Fans appreciated the unexpected cultural crossover of a politician known for his eloquence praising a superstar known for his charisma.

SRK’s Signature Reply Wins the Internet

Never one to miss a chance to respond in style, Shah Rukh Khan quoted Tharoor’s tweet and thanked him with a perfect blend of wit and humility.

SRK wrote, “Thank u sir for the kind words. Jawan was truly a team effort… and I am just the face of it. Gratitude to all the wonderful people who made this happen. Love and regards always.”

In classic SRK fashion, the response was warm, grateful, and yet carried that flair only he can deliver. Fans immediately flooded the comment section with love and pride.

A Moment of Cultural Harmony

This exchange was more than just a celebrity responding to a politician — it became a rare moment where cinema, politics, and mutual admiration intersected gracefully. In a time when online discourse is often negative, this public appreciation reminded audiences why SRK is loved not just for his films, but for his dignified persona.

What’s Next for SRK?

After the massive success of Jawan and Dunki, Shah Rukh Khan is reportedly preparing for his next action-thriller. With a National Award finally under his belt, the expectations have only grown higher. But if this recent win and his response are any indicators, King Khan is just getting started — and doing it all with charm and grace.
