SRK ya King Khan ke naam se jaanne jaane wale Khan ne Locarno ko ek beautiful aur artistic city kaha, magar thoda garam bhi. India se comparison karte hue unhone kaha, “So many people stuffed up in a little square and so hot. It’s just like being home in India.”
Khan ki speech tab serious ho gayi jab unhone cinema aur creativity par apne thoughts share kiye, aur cinema ko “the most profound and influential artistic medium of our age” kaha. Unhone art ke universality par zor dete hue kaha, “Art goes beyond every man-made boundary into a space of liberation.”
Unhone creativity aur emotion ke beech intrinsic connection ko highlight karte hue kaha, “There is no creativity without love, which transcends all languages and is understood by everyone around the world.”
Apne 35-year film career ko reflect karte hue, Khan ne apne diverse roles ka humorous tarike se zikr kiya, villain se lekar rejected fan tak. Award ke naam – Pardo alla Carriera Ascona-Locarno Tourism – ko pronounce karte waqt unhone struggle kiya, aur mazak mein usse “the Leopard award for being the most awesome in the world” naam de diya.
Festival director Giona A. Nazzaro ne Khan ko honor karne ka reason explain karte hue unke work ethic aur millions ko inspire karne ki ability ko praise kiya. Khan ne apni speech ko conclude karte hue promise kiya ki wo ek actor ke taur par apne boundaries push karte rahenge, aur apne audience ko aur zyada khushi dene ki koshish karenge.
As the crowd cheered, Khan ne ek aakhri humorous attempt kiya award ke naam ko pronounce karne ka, phir hans kar kaha, “Can you keep a shorter name? Just like, ‘arrivederci.’”
