Shah Rukh Khan opened up about his love for awards ceremonies. In a new interview with The Guardian, the actor was asked if he 'enjoys' such events, when he revealed he doesn't just have a 'trophy cabinet' but a full-fledged 'library that is designed like an English library' to store away all his award trophies.

Shah Rukh has a library to house his ‘300 awards’

Shah Rukh, who was last seen in Dunki (2023), said, "I enjoy it (awards ceremonies). I am very shameless about this! I love getting awards. I love the ceremony. I get a little nervous if I have to give speeches. Especially with international awards, because then I need to make sure Indian cinema is presented well. I have to be on my best behaviour. I have to control my sense of humour. Because cinema for India is such an important thing.”

Asked if he has a trophy cabinet, Shah Rukh said, “I do. It’s bigger than this room! I have 300 awards. I have a nine-storey office and on every floor I have some of the awards. Actually, it’s not a trophy room. It’s a library which is designed like an English library.”
