Karan Johar congratulates Rani Mukerji and Shah Rukh Khan for their big win.
Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani won big at the National Film Awards. Along with it, Rani Mukerji and Shah Rukh Khan also received National Awards for Best Actress and Best Actor, respectively. This victory for Karan Johar is like a full-circle moment, as he had won the first National Award of his life for Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, starring Rani and SRK.
As Shah Rukh and Rani celebrate their victory, Karan took to his Instagram and penned a heartfelt note. Sharing a picture of SRK and Rani from Jawan and Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway, along with a snapshot from their old days, Karan wrote, “Taking a pause in our celebrations to celebrate my friends for their cinema!!!”
Further heaping praises on SRK, Johar continued, “@iamsrk bhai… this has been 33 years in the making and I can’t help but beam with pride. Redefining Indian cinema with every role you take on… Jawan and all your other films are only testament to what an exceptional actor you are—to light every screen you walk in with your swag, charm, and just… SRK-ness! Me and the entire world are rooting for you, celebrating you, and supporting you for everything you do. There is no one like you. Congratulations, bhai… you deserve this and more. And like you say… picture abhi baaki hai mere dost.”
“My dearest Rani… truly the queen of every screen she is in. Your performance hit everyone like a punch in the gut, making everyone feel every last feeling with you. Very few can do that, but you… you have always been the best at it. Congratulations, and I speak on behalf of everyone — we can’t wait to see what you do next!!!! Biggest shoutout to @emmayentertainment for backing such a powerful story, and congratulations! @madhubhojwani @onlyemmay @nikkhiladvani,” he added while congratulating Rani and the team of Mrs Chatterjee.
The ace director ended the note by writing, “P.S. — fun fact!! I won my first National Award with these two & Kajol by my side for Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. If this is not full circle, what is?”
Meanwhile, Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani bagged two major honours — one for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment, and the second for the famous song Dhindhora Baje Re, with Vaibhavi Merchant winning Best Choreography.
