Suhana Khan drops the ultimate daddy tribute as Shah Rukh Khan wins first National Film Award

Suhana Khan, daughter of Shah Rukh Khan, took to Instagram to express her joy after her father won the National Award for Best Actor. She posted a childhood photo with him and wrote, “From bedtime stories to stories that leave a mark, no one tells them like you. Congratulations, love you the most @iamsrk.”

The post has gone viral, especially among Shah Rukh’s fans who’ve closely followed his 33-year journey in the industry. For many, this moment felt long overdue. While the actor has received countless accolades over the years, this is his first National Award, and it marks a major moment of professional validation. Suhana’s note reflects a personal, behind-the-scenes bond fans rarely get to see. The caption, though simple, gives a glimpse into how SRK’s storytelling shaped his children’s lives both on and off screen.

Her post comes at a time when Shah Rukh’s career is in an interesting phase. After a brief hiatus, he returned in 2023 with three big releases: Pathaan, Jawan, and Dunki. His performance in Jawan particularly earned him praise from critics and audiences alike, and it's that role which brought him the National Award.

While fans are still debating which of his performances deserved it more, Suhana’s tribute reminded everyone that for his family, this wasn’t just about a trophy. It was about years of watching him give everything to his work.

On the work front, Suhana Khan made her acting debut with Netflix’s The Archies in December 2023, directed by Zoya Akhtar. The film also featured Khushi Kapoor, Agastya Nanda, Mihir Ahuja, Dot, Vedang Raina, and Yuvraj Menda. Up next, Suhana will star alongside Shah Rukh Khan in King. Initially set to be directed by Sujoy Ghosh, the film is now helmed by Siddharth Anand and reportedly includes a star-studded cast like Deepika Padukone and Rani Mukerji.
