The heartthrobs of Bollywood, Rani Mukerji and Shah Rukh Khan, have ruled over fans' hearts for decades with striking on-screen chemistry and an iconic off-screen bond. While receiving their first National Award, the duo teased their fans' feed with yet another heartwarming moment. Recently, the actress recalled the memory of winning the honour with SRK. Rani talked about her 'extra special' journey with him and was all praise for him, not just as a phenomenal actor but also as a human being.
This year, Rani Mukerji completed 30 years in the industry. With her iconic roles and sizzling performances, she not only established a strong name in the industry but also earned a space in her fans’ hearts. Recently, the actress looked back at her most cherished moment, which was receiving the National Award with Shah Rukh Khan. She looked back on one particular moment that went viral, in which she helped Shah Rukh wear his medal. During a conversation with Zoom, she said, "I think all students here today will understand… If you’ve been on a journey with your friends from a very young age, school, college, helping each other through life, then achieving something together on a platform like that becomes extra special. You’re sharing it with someone who started the journey with you.
Rani further opened up about how she has learnt a lot from Shah Rukh Khan and hailed him as a professional and as a person. She said, "There’s so much that I imbibed and learned from Shah Rukh - as a professional, as a person, and as an actor. Winning it on that day felt even more special because he has been in the industry for 35 years and I’ve been for 30. With or without National Awards, we’ve never stopped wanting to do our best for our films. I’m a horse in the Chinese calendar. I believe I keep my blinkers on—I don’t look left or right. I always look ahead and focus on what lies forward."
