Shah Rukh Khan on Thursday evening attended his friend and the 4th Prime
Minister of Malaysia Tun Dr Mahathir bin
Mohammad’s birthday and he was also awarded the prestigious BrandLaureate Legendary Award. The
superstar was given this honour by the Asia Pacific Brands Foundation for his contributions
to the Bollywood film industry and as India’s foremost brand ambassador. Shah
Rukh was humbled by the honour given to him by Founder of Lord’s Tailor Mr Robert Loh, President of The BrandLaureate
Dr KK Johan, and Tun Dr Mahathir bin
Mohammad.
“It is an honour to be given the Brandlaureate Legendary Award. It is
always a pleasure to be amongst friends and to be given so much love and
motivation to do better,” said Shah Rukh.
The BrandLaureate Legendary
Award has been earlier given to the likes of Dr Nelson Mandela, Nobel Laureate recipient Mohammad Yunus, Ratan Tata, late Steve Jobs, Marck Zuckerburg, Michael Schumacher and more.
In 2008 Shah Rukh had become the first Indian
actor to be conferred with the prestigious Malaysian title of Datuk (equivalent of the British
Knighthood) by the governor of Malaysia’s southern state of Malacca for
promoting tourism through his movies in that region. Earlier this year, Shah
Rukh became the first Indian film industry’s personality to be honoured with
the prestigious Chubb fellowship at Yale University and very recently he
was honoured with LÉtoile d’Or by Mohammaed VI, the King of Morocco
during 12th International Film Festival of Marrakech twice in a row.
