Music sensation Anirudh Ravichander was awarded the Youth Icon (Popular Choice) at the prestigious CNN News18 Indian of the Year 2023. He showered heartfelt praise on Shah Rukh Khan. For the unversed, Anirudh rocked the year with his infectious tunes, composing music for over 10 movies, including Vijay’s chart-topping Varisu and Rajinikanth’s powerhouse Jailer. But it was SRK’s upcoming Jawan that took centre stage in Anirudh’s speech.

“With Jawan, Shah Rukh Khan wanted every Indian to know who Anirudh Ravichander is,” says composer after receiving Youth Icon award

Revealing how Jawan came to be, Anirudh declared, “Shah Rukh Khan is one of the main reasons I stand here today. He made me one of his own and took me into his fold. He said with Jawan he wanted every Indian to know who Anirudh is.” Anirudh went on to say, “He will be proud of me, thank you Shah Rukh sir.”

Anirudh secured the highest number of votes in the Popular Youth Icon category. The other contenders in this category included Indo-Canadian singer and rapper AP Dhillon, influencer Kusha Kapila, podcaster and influencer Ranveer Allahbadia, and trans-woman doctor Trinetra Haldar. While Ravichander claimed the Popular Youth Icon award, Haldar emerged victorious in the Jury’s Choice for Youth Icon category.

In addition to this, Shah Rukh also received the Indian of The Year 2023 Award. The actor graced the awards ceremony and accepted the honour from the esteemed jury. Notably, this occasion marked Shah Rukh Khan’s inaugural media appearance since 2019.
