Shah Rukh Khan is a well-known name in Indian films. From his first film, Deewana, to becoming an international star, SRK has played many memorable roles, gaining the loving affection of countless audiences in the process. Popularly known as King Khan of Bollywood, the superstar recently bagged the prestigious National Award for the 2023 film Jawan. After claiming the recent accolade, the question that comes to mind is How many National Awards does SRK have?

Shah Rukh Khan’s National Award Win

It would be surprising to know that, after over three decades of effort in Indian cinema, Shah Rukh Khan has finally achieved his first National Film Award. Yes, that’s correct, the Badshah of Bollywood has finally won the National Award, but this is also in sharing. At the 71st National Film Awards, he won Best Actor for his performance in Atlee’s Jawan. Vikrant Massey also won Best Actor for 12th Fail, so both gentlemen share this honor.

This is a milestone moment in the history of Indian cinema because before this, Shah Rukh had never won a National Award, despite his plethora of exceptional performances in the hit films Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Swades, Chak De! India, and My Name Is Khan. The honor for Jawan finally gave him the recognition that fans had long awaited.
