CRI听力:Bollywood Actor Honored with Top French Civilian Award
Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan has been honoured with the top French civilian award, the Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur (Knight of the Legion of Honour), by the French Foreign Minister, Laurent Fabius.
The prestigious award was presented to the 48-year-old actor at a function in Mumbai for his outstanding contribution to cultural diversity across the world.
As Khan received his award, he said it wouldn't be right to take all the credit.
"It would be wrong to accept it as an individual, so I accept it on behalf of hundreds and thousands of Indian filmmakers who have worked tirelessly, since, incidentally, the time the Lumiere brothers came here and visited Mumbai and showed us how to make cinema."
Shah Rukh Khan is the second Bollywood personality, after Amitabh Bachchan, to receive the award.
Bachchan was awarded Padma Shri, a civilian honour, in 2005 by the Indian government and the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the government of France in 2007 for his contribution to cinema.
