Shah Rukh Khan received the 4th National Yash Chopra Memorial Award presented to him by Rekha. SRK, in his acceptance speech, attributed the award to be his biggest honour

Amitabh Bachchan, Lata Mangeshkar and Rekha are the previous awardees.

This is one of the most important evenings of my life. I am very emotional. Yash Chopra has single-handedly created my career. It is a strange circle that I am receiving an award, which honours him and is in his memory, and I am who I am because of what Yash Chopra made me do.
