The long awaited, and much discussed, Malaysian honour was finally bequeathed upon mega star Shah Rukh Khan over the weekend.
The Datuk, which is the equivalent of a British Knighthood, was given to King Khan by the governor of Malaysia’s southern Malacca state at a lavish ceremony on Saturday. Shah Rukh Khan is the only Indian actor ever to be given this award. The ceremony involved the tying of a piece of cloth around Shah Rukh’s waist.
Numerous fans and a large contingent of media persons were in attendance of the event where a further 76 people were also honoured in similar fashion. From now on Shah Rukh can be referred as Datuk Shah Rukh Khan of Malaysia.
The reason behind Shah Rukh’s honour was the boost in tourism due to his films being shot in the country.
