SRK was spotted supporting his longtime co-star Rani Mukerji, who took home her first National Award for Best Actress for Mrs. Chatterjee vs. Norway, after he won his first-ever National Award for Best Actor for Jawan.
SRK’s sweet gestures for Rani
Shah Rukh held Rani’s saree pallu as she sat down to ensure it wouldn’t be trapped. In a another video, the actor was seen adjusting her hair during a talk before giving her a little peck on the cheek. These little actions swiftly gained widespread recognition on the internet, demonstrating why SRK is still hailed as Bollywood’s classic gentleman.

Despite decades of superstardom, fans praised his kindness and humility, once again crowning him “The King for a reason.”
