Shah Rukh Khan Has An English Library For Awards In His 9-Storey Office, Adds ‘I’m Very Shameless..’

In a recent interview, Shah Rukh Khan opened up about owning a dedicated space for his awards in his 9-storey office and admitted to being shameless about his love for receiving awards.

Shah Rukh Khan is one of the superstars of Indian cinema. He made his Bollywood debut with the film, Deewana, in 1992, which also featured Rishi Kapoor in the lead role. Hailed as King Khan, SRK rules millions of hearts, owing to his down-to-earth nature and exceptional acting spree. Over the years, he has given many hit films, including Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Veer Zaara, Don 2, and others. Shah Rukh Khan was recently honoured with the Pardo Alla Carriera Award at the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland for his contributions to cinema.

Shah Rukh Khan talks about his ‘English Library of awards’

In a recent conversation with The Guardian, Shah Rukh Khan reflected on his impressive career spanning over three decades and talked about his collection of accolades. When the actor was asked if he has a trophy cabinet, he revealed that he owns around 300 awards, which are kept in a library in his huge office. In his words:

“I do. It’s bigger than this room! I have 300 awards. I have a nine-storey office, and on every floor, I have some of the awards. Actually, it’s not a trophy room. It’s a library which is designed like an English library.”

SRK admits to being shameless about enjoying awards

Further in the interview, when SRK was asked if he enjoys awards ceremonies, he responded positively. However, the actor admitted to being shameless about his love for getting felicitated with awards and revealed that he gets nervous when it comes to giving speeches. In his words:

“I enjoy it. I am very shameless about this! I love getting awards. I love the ceremony. I get a little nervous if I have to give speeches.”

Shah Rukh Khan is careful about representing Indian cinema abroad

Speaking along the same lines, SRK mentioned that he is more careful during his speeches, especially at international awards, as he wants to represent Indian cinema well. So, he tries to be on his best behaviour and control his sense of humour at such events. The 55-year-old actor said:

“I have to be on my best behaviour. I have to control my sense of humour. Because cinema for India is such an important thing.”

Shah Rukh Khan’s work front

SRK has had a successful career in Bollywood. However, despite working hard, one of his most ambitious films, Zero, failed at the box office. So, Shah Rukh took a long break from acting in 2019 and made a stellar comeback in 2023. He impressed the audience with his back-to-back superhit films, Pathaan, Jawaan, and Dunki. The films were a success at the box office. Now, SRK will be next seen in Sujoy Ghosh’s King.
