Shah Rukh Khan is riding high after bagging his first-ever National Award in a 33-year-long career, and he’s clearly in the mood to celebrate—with a touch of signature charm. His recent online banter with wife Gauri Khan has fans smiling, as he playfully asked her to “brag” about him at dinner.

After the 71st National Film Awards were announced, Gauri shared a heartwarming post congratulating her husband, close friend Karan Johar—whose Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani won Best Popular Film—and Rani Mukerji, who bagged Best Actress for Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway. 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!”

SRK responded in his usual cheeky style, commenting, “Please brag about me to me when we sit for dinner tonight… thanks for producing the film.” The actor also thanked her for backing Jawan, the film that won him the prestigious award.

Adding to the family celebration, daughter Suhana Khan shared a childhood picture with SRK and wrote, “From bedtime stories to stories that leave a mark, no one tells them like you. Congratulations. Love you the most.” Shah Rukh’s reply was as heartfelt as it was humorous: “Thank you, baby. Hope I can continue to entertain you with bedtime stories… they don’t seem to be working like they used to. Guess I’ll just have to make do with my movies working then… ha ha.”

The National Award-winning Jawan, directed by Atlee, featured Shah Rukh in a dual role and was both a critical and commercial blockbuster, raking in over ₹1160 crore worldwide.
