Shah Rukh Khan to be Awarded at World Economic Forum 2018
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan will be honoured at the 24th Annual Crystal Awards.
This time shahrukh Khan is not awarded for his acting or films but his charity.
Shah Rukh is being Awarded as he is a founder of the non-profit Meer Foundation, which provides support to female victims of acid attacks and major burn injuries through medical treatment, legal aid, vocational training, rehabilitation and livelihood support.
He has also been responsible for the creation of specialized children's hospital wards and has supported childcare centres with free boarding for children undergoing cancer treatment.
Expressing gratitude for being chosen for the honour, Shah Rukh tweeted on Thursday: "Thank you for this honour.
I consider my work with these heroic and beautiful women a great privilege as it imparts dignity and purpose to my life. I hope to spread awareness of the unparalleled heroism of these ladies and reach out to others in order to carry this work to its conclusion."
The 24th Annual Crystal Awards celebrate the achievements of outstanding artistes who have shown exemplary commitment to improving the state of the world.
The awards ceremony will take place on January 22, at the launch of the annual meeting.
This year's World Economic Forum will have the first Indian Prime Minister participating since 1997, with Narendra Modi slated to address the plenary session of the prestigious global business meet.
