Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan received Crystal Award at the World Economic Forum in Davos along with the likes of Hollywood star Cate Blanchett and singer-songwriter Elton John for their work raising awareness about human rights issues.

Shah Ruch has been feted as he is a founder of the non-profit Meer Foundation, which provides support to female victims of acid attacks and major burn injuries through medical treatment, legal aid, vocational training, rehabilitation and livelihood support.

Talking about receiving the honour, SRK quipped, “Extremely charged that I’ve had this amazing opportunity, this award, being recognised like this for minuscule work that I did, I’d like to do it with even more fervour.”
