Winning awards and recognition is nothing new for the 'King of Bollywood' Shah Rukh Khan. However, this award is special, after all thanks to this award, Shah Rukh can now call himself Dr. Shah Rukh Khan.

Wondering what we are talking about? Well...SRK has been conferred a honorary doctorate by the University of Bedfordshire for his contribution to arts and culture. The 'Baadshah of Bollywood' was awarded this prestigious honour at a glittering ceremony in London yesterday (Friday). Shah Rukh's wife Gauri was also present to cheer her hubby dearest during this moment of crowning glory.

In the past, quite a few Bollywood actors such as Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Shilpa Shetty and even music maestro A.R. Rahman have been conferred with a doctorate degree. Now Shah Rukh joins the elite list.

King Khan will be surely beaming with joy on receiving this honour.
