Shah Rukh Khan was recently honoured with a Special Jury Mention at the National Film Awards 2025. The internet lauded and praised him for the recognition. Among the many messages he received, one special tweet came from Mr Shashi Tharoor. SRK responded to it in his signature humorous and witty style.
Shah Rukh Khan’s Reply
“Thank u for the simple praise Mr Tharoor…

The internet lit up with laughter and praised the actor for blending wit and humility, while also poking fun at Tharoor’s famously grandiloquent word bank.
The tweet, now with over 1 million views, reflects what fans love about SRK — intelligence, charm, and unfiltered personality. As his performances in ‘Jawan’ and ‘Dunki’ earn him national honours, his online presence continues to reinforce why he’s not just Bollywood royalty, but a cultural icon.
