Shah Rukh Khan is not only a legendary actor in Indian cinema but also someone who has always spoken his mind. Over the years, he has won around 300 awards, including 15 Filmfare Awards. Despite his immense success, there have been rumors that he has ‘bought’ some of these awards. However, the superstar has always been candid about his views on awards and recognition.
In an old interview with Filmfare from May 2002, Shah Rukh Khan shared his thoughts on losing an award. According to a Reddit post, when asked if he felt disappointed about not winning an award, he boldly stated that the real losers were the ones who didn’t give him the award. He even mentioned that the Filmfare trophy looks best in his hands.
The actor admitted that this opinion might sound childish, but he doesn’t mind because there is a child inside him. He recalled visiting actress Hema Malini’s house and seeing many awards displayed there. At that moment, he wondered if he would ever win that many awards in his lifetime. Today, he proudly says that his dream has come true.
Shah Rukh Khan also shared an emotional memory from the past. He recalled seeing director-producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra take his mother on stage while receiving an award. Watching that moment, Shah Rukh dreamed of taking his own mother on stage one day. Unfortunately, his mother passed away before he could fulfill that dream. This loss made him even more determined to win awards.
The actor emotionally revealed that he wants to win so many awards that his mother can see them from heaven. On a lighter note, he added that he wants to be like the Great Wall of China—the only person on Earth visible from outer space.
