The Bollywood star became the second Indian after author Arundhati Roy to be honoured with the Insignia of Officer in the Order of Arts and Letters in Mumbai. He is the first Indian actor to win this accolade.
"I am a kid right now, every honor conferred on me is special. I told my children while leaving home that I am winning another award," says the actor.
And if you are wondering, if Shah Rukh Khan's starpower works in France, well, the French Ambassador, Jerome Bonnafont, himself vouches for it.
"I remember during Devdas in 2004, when he was staying at the Luxe, a whole riot began. We thought it was for Tom Cruise but then, it was actually Shah Rukh Khan! it took us by surprise," says Bonnafont.
