The actor from "Dunki" expressed gratitude towards his team for the success of his film, his on-stage performance, and the award bestowed upon him on Sunday night. After a nine-year hiatus from the award ceremony, the superstar dedicated his Best Actor trophy to his children Aryan Khan, Suhana Khan, and AbRam, as well as his wife Gauri Khan. With his trademark wit, SRK then delighted the audience by adding his iconic 'baap' dialogue in tribute to his children: "As long as your father is alive, entertainment lives on!"
The iconic star of DDLJ also reflected on a challenging period in his career while expressing his gratitude. "I'd like to share something personal. About four to five years ago, I faced setbacks with my films and felt disappointed in myself. I found solace in spending time at home, baking pizzas and making rotis with my children. I immersed myself in playing with them. Additionally, the next three to four years were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic," he reminisced.
