SRK praises Vogue’s initiative
Bollywood's quintessential romantic hero Shah Rukh Khan, who attended the Vogue Women of the Year Awards said that all the women in his life are important and it’s extremely satisfying to have an award for them.
Shah Rukh said, “All the women in my life are important to me, starting with my mother, wife, daughter, sister and all the ladies who have worked with me... The list is big because I've been working for 30 years, so there are lots of them, around 20-30 of them, all of them are important.
I think women are important, so to have an award for them, I think it is extremely fulfilling and satisfying, not just for the women who get the award, but for the men who don't win it. Bystanders like myself, who can come and applaud for them,” added Shah Rukh, who was given the Vogue Entertainer of the Decade Award.
‘(I am) Not at all disappointed at losing out the race to the Oscars this year. When I make a film, I never think about awards. It is not my aim. The aim is to first satisfy myself with the story and later to see that it reaches the maximum number of audience and makes money for everyone who has put their life in it,’
