Of all the praises Bollywood Badshah Shah Rukh Khan has garnered over the years, this one should be the most special. Acclaimed novelist Paulo Coelho is of the opinion that Shah Rukh deserved an Academy Award for his performance in 'My Name is Khan'. The 69 year old tweeted on the occasion of the seventh anniversary of the Karan Johar directorial. "'My Name is Khan and I am not a terrorist'. Congratulations @iamsrk for the 7th anniversary of this wonderful movie!" wrote Paulo.
He also posted a screenshot from his Facebook page, where he also wrote that the 2008 movie was the only time he saw Shah Rukh's work. "His first (and only) movie that I watched (this year, even if it was released in 2008) was My Name is Khan. And not only was the movie excellent, but SRK deserved an Oscar if Hollywood was not manipulated. He kindly offered to send the other titles - as you probably guess, it is not easy to find them in Switzerland."
Flattered by the gesture, Shah Rukh replied saying, "Thank u so much. My next journey is to try and meet u in person. Love and health to u."
