He had also thanked his entire team of ‘Jawan’.”I want to thank my team and management, which works tirelessly. They bear with me my eccentricities and my impatience and give me their full attention, making me look much better than I am. This award would not be possible at all without their love and perseverance,” he added.
Shah Rukh had also acknowledged the unwavering support of his family throughout his journey.”My wife and kids, who over the last few years have given me so much more love and care as if I am the kid in the house, and want only the best for me.
