New Delhi: Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan on Saturday night received the National Yash Chopra Memorial Award. The 51-year-old actor recently took to Twitter to thank 'all' for the same.

"Was happy for this last night. Thank u all," SRK tweeted. Along with this, he posted an interesting picture online. In the image, he can be seen sharing the frame with Chopra's wife, Pamela.

Interestingly, the last four directorial ventures of Chopra's career featured SRK. It is believed that 1993 release 'Darr', which was also directed by Chopra, took Shah Rukh to whole new heights and made him Indian cinema's most desirable actor of that era.

Previously, Lata Mangeshkar, Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha have won this honour.
