Shah Rukh Khan’s National Award win for Jawan at the 71st National Film Awards has sparked both celebration and controversy. While fans hailed the recognition, some netizens questioned whether the Atlee directorial was the right film to earn him the coveted Best Actor honour, suggesting instead that SRK should have won for other performances in his three-decade career.
