Shah Rukh Khan carries his charm everywhere he goes. The star once again made his fans proud as he became the first Indian to receive the Pardo alla Carriera Ascona-Locarno Tourism award at the Locarno Film Festival . During his acceptance speech at the 77th edition of the prestigious film festival, King Khan displayed his signature wit while struggling to pronounce the name of the award.
In a humorous manner, the megastar said, “This award here, which, for the life of me, I've been trying...
I can't pronounce,” as reported by Variety . He then playfully renamed the award - “the Leopard award for being the most awesome in the world, in the history of humility and kindness and goodness.” Too good, SRK, too good.
Even towards the end of his speech, Shah Rukh Khan attempted to pronounce the name of the award once again but still struggled. He laughed and said, “Can you keep a shorter name? Just like, ‘arrivederci.'” During his time on stage, Shah Rukh Khan also spoke about his roles in a career spanning over three and a half decades.
He said, “I've been a villain, I've been a champ, I've been a superhero, I've been a zero, I've been a rejected fan, and I've been a very, very resilient lover.” Speaking about the connection between creativity and emotion, Shah Rukh Khan added, “There is no creativity without love, which is a language which transcends all languages and is comprehended by everyone around the world. So creativity, love, and giving joy to me, is on.
