The actor was at his usual charming and self deprecating, when he talked about how his initiative has been working for the welfare of women and children. He also asked for a selfie with the acclaimed actress and legend Cate Blanchett, but then said that his children would get embarrassed, which made everyone present, laugh. Before the ceremony took place, Shah Rukh had also posted a photograph of himself on twitter, with his hands wide open in the romantic hero mode. He captioned the tweet with, “Switzerland main aake yeh na kiya toh kya kiya…?! Loving being at the Davos, now to get ready for the Crystal Award Ceremony.” The tweet was shared and liked by many people and fans as a tribute to the classic, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jaaynge.
“I am genuinely and deeply grateful for this honor. It is indeed a privilege to be in the company of two phenomenal and extraordinary human beings and talent, Cate Blanchett and Sir Elton John,” he said while addressing the guests. Meer foundations specifically works for the well fare of women who have been victims of acid attacks, burns. Apart from Shah Rukh, other Indian personalities to win the honor are, Shabana Azmi, Amitabh Bachchan, A.R Rahman among others.
