SRK’s national honour joined by Rani and Karan’s wins; Gauri Khan shares nostalgic tribute post

Gauri Khan has shared her joy as three of her closest friends — Shah Rukh Khan, Rani Mukerji, and Karan Johar — won big at the 71st National Film Awards. In a post on Instagram, she shared two throwback pictures with a warm caption celebrating their achievements.

Shah Rukh Khan received the Best Actor award for Jawan, while Rani Mukerji won Best Actress for Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway. Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani bagged the award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment. The awards were announced on August 1.

Gauri’s post included two pictures. One had her posing with Shah Rukh and Rani, all smiles in a casual selfie. The second showed Rani taking a selfie with Gauri and Karan Johar, capturing a candid moment of camaraderie.

In her caption, Gauri wrote, “Three of my absolute favourites just WON big… and so did our hearts ?? When talent meets goodness, magic happens so proud, and so ready to brag about them forever!”

Her close ties with Rani and Karan are no secret. Over the years, Rani has starred opposite Shah Rukh in several popular films like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Chalte Chalte, Paheli, and Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna. Gauri and Karan have often been spotted supporting each other’s work and celebrating personal milestones together.

Meanwhile, Suhana Khan also took to Instagram to share a special tribute to her father. She posted a monochrome photo of a young Shah Rukh carrying her as a child. “From bedtime stories to stories that leave a mark, No one tells them like you. Congratulations, love you the most ?? @iamsrk,” she captioned it.

While the industry applauds the trio's wins, Gauri and Suhana’s emotional messages have added a personal layer to the celebrations — a moment of shared pride across both family and friendships.
