Shah Rukh Khan Wins Pardo Alla Carriera Award!!!

Shah Rukh Khan received the esteemed Pardo Alla Carriera award at the 2024 Locarno Film Festival, adding another remarkable achievement to his distinguished career.

He expressed his appreciation, saying, "Thank you all for welcoming me with open arms, even wider than the ones I spread on screen, in this beautiful, cultural, artistic, and incredibly hot city of Locarno."

Reflecting on his time in Locarno, Shah Rukh amusingly likened the vibrant crowd to the lively atmosphere of India. "So many people packed into a small square in such heat—it's just like being back home in India. Thank you so much for having me here. The last two evenings have been wonderful," he shared. The audience enjoyed a lighthearted moment when a fan shouted, "I love you," to which he replied, "I love you too. The dramatics will continue after the serious speech. It's the Locarno Film Festival, so we need to sound intellectual, alright?"

Shah Rukh Khan wrapped up his speech with a blend of humor and sincerity, joking about his improving Italian and cooking skills before switching to Hindi to convey his deep gratitude. "From the bottom of my heart, and on behalf of India, I want to thank you all. Namashkaar and dhanyawaad (Hello, thank you). God bless you all," he concluded, leaving the audience charmed by his grace and warmth.
