Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan was honoured with the prestigious 'Outstanding Contribution to Cinema' award at the fifth annual Asian Awards in London. The award ceremony took place on April 17 and apart from SRK, a bevy of other international celebrities, politicians, musicians and industrialists made their presence felt at the event. SRK was partying with the former One Direction band's songwriter and singer Zayn Malik and entrepreneur Paul Sagoo. He took to Twitter to post pictures from the bash. This kid is so cool. May Allah bless him.

"I am extremely humbled and honoured to receive this award. I say this very often that my stardom belongs to most South East Asians who reside abroad who have made the Indian cinema and me known around the world. I congratulate all the winners at the Asian Awards as well. I am glad to have been a part of such a wonderful celebration of hard work by people in difference field but similar passion," SRK said after receiving the honour. Previous winners in the cinema category include, Irrfan Khan, Anupam Kher and Yash Chopra. With a picture with the sensation Zayn Malik and yet another feather to his already multi-feathered cap, SRK's rule is surely expanding. (With PTI Inputs)
