Shah Rukh Khan, the beloved Bollywood superstar, recently celebrated his 59th birthday, and the occasion was marked by a special tribute from The Academy, the organization behind the prestigious Oscar Awards. The Academy's Instagram post featured a video showcasing one of Khan's most iconic scenes from the beloved film 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.' The clip depicts Jaya Bachchan performing a puja inside her house when Shah Rukh Khan makes a dramatic entrance in a helicopter. Dressed in a sleek black ensemble, he runs towards his house with unmatched charisma and style. Sensing his arrival, Jaya Bachchan walks towards the gate, and at that precise moment, Shah Rukh Khan enters. Their heartwarming interaction, imbued with love and underscored by the film's theme music, evokes a wave of nostalgia.
The post's caption aptly read, “A mother's intuition is always right.” Directed by Karan Johar, 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham' was released in 2001 and became a blockbuster. The family drama featured an ensemble cast including Amitabh Bachchan, Kajol, Kareena Kapoor, and Hrithik Roshan. In the comments section, The Academy playfully asked users, “Is this SRK's best entry scene?” This is not the first time The Academy has paid tribute to Shah Rukh Khan. Back in January, they shared a clip of the song 'Mehendi Laga Ke Rakhna' from the iconic film 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.' The feel-good romantic number captured the effortless chemistry between Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, and their captivating dance moves and expressions continue to resonate with audiences even today.
Looking ahead, Shah Rukh Khan is set to star in the highly anticipated film 'King,' directed by Sujoy Ghosh. Speculation and reports suggest that he may share the screen with his daughter, actress Suhana Khan, in the film. 'King' is expected to premiere in 2026. These tributes from The Academy highlight the global recognition of Shah Rukh Khan's talent and his enduring appeal. His films continue to entertain and inspire audiences worldwide, cementing his status as one of the biggest and most beloved film stars of all time.
