Shahrukh Khan honoured with BrandLaureate Legendary Award in Malaysia

47 Years old Bollywood Actor Shah Rukh Khan on 13 December 2012 awarded with the prestigious BrandLaureate Legendary Award in Malaysia.

The award was given by the Malaysia-based Asia Pacific Brands Foundation for his contributions to the Bollywood film industry and as India's foremost brand ambassador.

The BrandLaureate Legendary Award had been earlier given to well known personality like those to Nelson Mandela, Nobel Laureate recipient Mohammad Yunus, Ratan Tata, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerburg, Michael Schumacher and more.

Earlier in 2008 Shah Rukh was conferred with the prestigious Malaysian title of Datuk  by the governor of Malaysia's southern state of Malacca for promoting tourism through his movies in that region.

Malaysian title of Datuk is equivalent of the British Knighthood, the highest awards given to an individual in the UK.

Shah Rukh Khan went to Malaysia to attend Malaysian Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir bin Mohammad's birthday.
The BrandLaureate  award is the sobriquet for the APBF Brand Excellence Awards.
