Bollywood Star Shah Rukh Khan Says 'It's Good To Be Back' After Award Win

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has told fans "it's good to be back" after winning the best actor award at the International Indian Film Academy Awards.

Khan was referring to his return to movies in 2023 after a hiatus lasting four years.

"I think I have a little happiness from the audience this year because I worked (again) after a long time," he declared to crowds at a star-studded show in Abu Dhabi.

Khan, a household name in India, is also one of the country's most popular stars with millions of fans domestically and abroad.

He not only won the prize for his role in action thriller Jawan but also co-hosted the event in in the capital of the United Arab Emirates, a city with a big Indian population.

Fireworks greeted his arrival on stage, and the whole event was peppered with tributes to him.

"I love awards, I'm greedy about awards," he announced. "I just want to tell you it's good to be back."

Khan's return to the big screen was Bollywood's biggest success story last year. He also starred in the spy film Pathaan.

The roles - in which he portrayed a rugged action hero - marked a departure for the 58-year-old, who, over three decades of his movie career, has been best known for playing the tender romantic hero.

His comeback on the big screen comes after a series of setbacks in his personal and professional life. They include the arrest of his son Aryan Khan on fake charges of drug possession - the charges were eventually dropped - and a number of films that didn't do well.

But his break from the limelight is unlikely to have dented his popularity. Charming and funny, the actor is often described as Bollywood's "most important cultural export", with millions of fans who endearingly refer to him as King Khan or the King of Bollywood.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles
