He has been in the industry for nearly three
decades, have many blockbusters in his
filmography and in his own confession, won
267 awards. And yet there is one milestone
that still eludes Shah Rukh Khan, and that's a
National award. While a few of his movies
may have scored recognition at India's
premier award system, Shah Rukh Khan has
surprisingly failed to bag any biggies here
despite having won many Filmfare and
Screen awards for his performances.
Interestingly his biggest competitors, Aamir
Khan and Salman Khan, have also not got
any National awards to their credit, though
Aamir Khan did get special recognition for
his role in the cult thriller Raakh.
During a recent media interaction at the
launch of the Indian Academy Awards that
will commence next year, Shah Rukh Khan
was asked about why he never won a
National Award himself. And he gave a really
honest answer for the same, "If I didn't get
it, then I didn't deserve it!" That's why we
love this man; he doesn't think too much of
himself in areas where he lacks and he is
simply honest about this.
However, we have to say Shah Rukh Khan
also had a bout of bad luck when it comes
to National Awards. He did came close to
winning a National Award twice, one for
Swades and the second for Chak De India.
However, misfortune struck him on both the
occasions as he lost in the final round. His
brilliant performance as the beleaguered
coach Kabir Khan in Chak De India was
overshadowed by Prakash Raj's terrific
performance in Tamil movie Kanchivaram.
However, he really did deserve a National
award for his understated performance as
the NRI Mohan Bhargava in Swades. But the
jury then, for some reason, thought Saif Ali
Khan's usual performance in Hum Tum was
better than his, and gave Saif his first
National award.
Dear Shah Rukh Khan, we know fortune has
not been on your side, but you have enough
time ahead to give another shot at the
National awards. Check out what happened
with Leonardo DiCaprio this year at Oscars
2016!
