Shah Rukh Khan, often referred to as the King of Bollywood, has recently won the National Film Award for Best Actor for his performance in Jawan. While many argued if the actor deserved the award for his performance in Atlee’s Jawan, the fact is that the superstar should have received this prestigious honor long before.
Films like Chak De! India, Swades, Devdas, and Veer-Zaara are some of his best performances, where the superstar has given GOAT-level performances. In Chak De! India, the actor played the role of a former hockey player who becomes the coach of the Indian women’s national hockey team. His portrayal as Kabir Khan is extraordinary.
Shah Rukh Khan as Mohan Bhargav in Swades is an NRI who is working at NASA and returns to India to meet his childhood nanny, Kaveri Amma. Khan’s nuanced performance as his personal conflict between two worlds makes the actor’s performance spectacular.
In his 33-year career, Shah Rukh Khan has given many blockbuster films and great performances. Even though Jawan may not be his best performance, the overdue recognition is what the Bollywood superstar deserved the most. It was late, but the superstar deserved the National Film Award.
