The King Khan was conferred a doctorate by the University of Bedfordshire for his contribution in the field of arts and culture on Friday.

The actor was conferred the Padmashiri in the year 2005, the Order of the Arts and Literature Award in the year 2007 by the French government and Datuk Honour in Malaysia last year.

Speaking on his new honor, Shah Rukh stated, “I will entertain like Walt Disney where he says I will entertain and help people learn. But if you are asking if I will make films to teach people ABC then I doubt it, you won’t see them. But I will make films that people can go and see for three hours and then come back and study hard for their exams.” Shah Rukh added that he keeps all his awards on his personal desk and likes to be surrounded by his awards. He said, “I am like a megalomaniac, self-centered person who likes to be surrounded by his awards.”

Shah Rukh’s wife Gauri was also present at the event.
