Bollywood's King Khan Shahrukh Khan was recently honored with the National Award for the film ‘Jawan'. This is the same honor that every Indian actor dreams of. Shahrukh achieved this achievement after a long wait of three decades. 'Jawan' not only earned more than Rs 1000 crore at the box office, but Shahrukh's powerful acting also won the hearts of the audience.
