A Full Circle Moment: Karan Johar Congratulates SRK & Rani on Their National Award Win
August 1st, 2023, marked a historic moment for two of Bollywood’s most iconic stars, Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukerji, as they received their first-ever National Film Award for their outstanding performances in the 1997 film “Jawan”. The news sent shockwaves of excitement and congratulations pouring in from their fans and colleagues alike. One of the most heartfelt and nostalgic messages came from none other than their longtime collaborator and friend, filmmaker Karan Johar.
In a heartfelt social media post, Karan Johar congratulated Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukerji on their well-deserved National Film Award win, calling “Jawan” “a testament to his exceptional acting” and Rani “the queen of every screen she is in”. What made this moment even more special was the full circle nature of it all – Karan Johar had won his first National Award with these two talented actors, along with Kajol, for their blockbuster film “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai” back in 1998.
Karan Johar’s post read, “I won my first National Award with these two and Kajol for ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’. And now, SRK and Rani win their first National Award together for ‘Jawan’! If this is not a full circle moment, what is? Congratulations to the entire team of ‘Jawan’ on this incredible achievement. You both are truly the best and I’m so proud to have had the privilege of working with you.”
This outpouring of congratulations from Karan Johar highlights the special bond he shares with Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukerji, who have been a part of his journey as a filmmaker for over two decades. Their collaborations have given us some of the most iconic films in Bollywood history, including “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai”, “Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham…”, and “My Name Is Khan”.
The National Film Award win for “Jawan” is a testament to the enduring talent and chemistry of Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukerji, who have been thrilling audiences with their performances for over two decades. Their first film together, “Jawan”, was a massive hit, and this award is a fitting recognition of their hard work and dedication to their craft.
Karan Johar’s full circle moment is a poignant reminder of the power of friendship, collaboration, and the enduring legacy of Bollywood’s iconic stars. As we celebrate this achievement, we cannot help but feel grateful for the memories they have given us over the years, and the many more they have yet to create.
