Lux Golden Rose Awards

Lux announced the third edition of the Golden Rose Awards, which has grown to be a momentous occasion not only for the industry but for multitudes of fans worldwide. The extravaganza sees the charming, king of hearts- Shah Rukh Khan talk about the women of Bollywood who inspire him the most. Khan said, “On celluloid I have swept many women off their feet, but in reality women tend to sweep me off my feet. In the past too, I have made my stance on equality of genders clear. I strongly believe dues meted out should be according to merit and not gender. Both genders have their own plus and minus points, though I love the women who make work so beautiful. Women make you think, and make you want to be a better person and for ages, and even now sadly they do not get the dues or credit they deserve.”
