He has been reigning hearts for over two decades now and the magic of Shah Rukh Khan cuts across cultures in India. What stands witness as his charismatic aura is the fact that the actor has been voted as the International Icon of Indian Cinema at the 16th edition of Asianet Film Awards held in Medan, Dubai recently.
King Khan was extremely emotional and overwhelmed at receiving the honor. He said, “It is a great honour for me to receive this award by Asianet. And to be given the award and so much love by Mammootty and Mohanlal sir was an amazing feeling. They are the artistes who have inspired me as an actor always. I have always worked towards making or being a part of cinema that entertains all and is meant for all. It is humbling to know that it gets noticed in the same capacity. Awards always motivate me to work harder and make more cinema that brings a smile on everyone’s face. I wish Asianet many more glorious years of entertainment and success.”
South veteran Mohanlal sang an entire song of SRK’s popular film DDLJ. Khan was also seen matching steps with Mohanlal and popular star Mammootty on the tunes of Chennai Express‘ Lungi Dance.
