Shah Rukh Khan, who became the fourth recipient of the Yash Chopra memorial award got candid during the presentation ceremony. The actor during his acceptance speech thanked all of the dignitaries present on the dais and revealed that he has always had hots Jaya Prada, one of the dignitaries present.
The actor said, "Thank you Jaya Prada Ji. I have to say this, no matter how inappropriate it sounds, all my young life I have had the hots for you. Never had the opportunity to come say this, but I have always found you extremely beautiful."
The veteran actress, Rekha, earlier during the ceremony recalled this one particular incident when Shah Rukh Khan woke her up to see the sunset. Reminiscing about that particular incident, Shah Rukh joked that sunset was just a measly excuse to see the gorgeous Rekha waking up.
Apart from the award by the foundation, Rekha also presented Shah Rukh Khan with a token of her appreciation, a bracelet. Thanking her for presenting him with this special award, Shah Rukh lamented that now Rekha has tied him a rakhi.
Towards the end of the ceremony, when SRK interacted with the media, he was asked to comment on the recent CBFC- 'Lipstick Under My Burkha' controversy, to which he said, "You can ask me about the politics in Uttar Pradesh as well after that. I have no idea as I was on holiday. So I don’t know.”
