Shah Rukh Khan recently became the first Indian to receive the Pardo alla Carriera award at the 77th Locarno International Film Festival. During his speech in Switzerland, SRK captivated his fans in Italy by accepting an award for his career achievements, with a speech that touched his heart and mind. After the award ceremony, SRK, who presented his 2002 film Devdas at the festival, joked, “For those who don't know me, go and Google me and come back.” The actor then introduced himself by saying, “My name is Shah Rukh Khan, I work in Indian films, especially in Hindi.”
Shah Rukh's statement took social media by storm, given that the actor enjoys global fame, which prompted several witty comments and reactions. Now, after the actor's joke, the tech giant Google India responded. The tech giant tagged the actor in an X post (formerly known as Twitter) and added a crown emoji, implying that he is “King Khan.”

After receiving the award, actor Jawan began his speech by thanking him for the warm welcome he received, even comparing Locarno to India. “Thank you all for welcoming me with such wide arms – wider than the ones I do on screen. Locarno is a very beautiful city, very cultural, very artistic and very warm. There were so many people packed into a small square and it was very hot. I feel like I am at home in India,” he said.
On Monday, the 58-year-old announced at a masterclass that his production company, Red Chillies Entertainment, had acquired the rights to Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Devdas. “As a production company, we bought the rights to this film and I'm very, very proud that this film now belongs to our company,” he said ahead of a special screening of the film.
