While there are several successful actors in the Indian entertainment industry, aka Bollywood, there indeed isn’t anyone like Shah Rukh Khan. The Baadshah of Bollywood has, time and again, proven that he is the reigning king of the industry and is here to rule. The megastar enjoys a massive fan following in India and across borders. This has yet again been proven by the prestigious Academy as they honoured SRK’s iconic film, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, almost 29 years after its release.
The Academy, also known as the Oscars, is one of the most prestigious awards that every artist from the global entertainment fraternity desires to earn. The Academy often takes to its official Instagram page and recognises quality cinema. It strives to celebrate the global film industry and the artists who make and deliver movies. As an ode to this initiative, The Academy shared a snippet of Mehndi Laga Ke Rakhna from Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol’s iconic movie, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.
