‘Jawan’ success meet: Nayanthara skips event; Shah Rukh Khan sings happy birthday for her mother | Watch

The team of ‘Jawan’ celebrated the success of their film at a grand event in Mumbai on September 15, but Nayanthara skipped the event because it was her mother’s birthday.

Even though she could not be present in person, the actor sent a video message which was played during the success meet.

She said, ‘Namaste Mumbai, It’s an absolute honor to be addressing all of you. Even though I am not there in person, I want to send a big, big, big hug to my friends from the media and my dear fans. I truly wish I could be there with you all in Mumbai right now, surrounded by the incredible people who have supported me throughout my journey. But today holds a special occasion for my family, and I wanted to spend this time together.’

Nayanthara added, ‘I have been reading all your messages, and I have to say it is absolutely overwhelming to receive so much love for Jawan. Your support means the world to me, and I’m extremely, extremely grateful for it. And of course, a big thank you to my lovely co-stars and the entire team for giving me the opportunity to play Narmada. It’s been a journey filled with laughter, challenges, and growth. Speaking of growth, I want to thank the man who needs no introduction—Shah Rukh sir. To share the screen with him and witness his exceptional talent and lively energy in person was truly, truly, truly fabulous.’

The actor continued, ‘Mumbai, I may not be there with you today, but your love and support have touched me deeply. Let’s continue to celebrate the magic of cinema and the power of storytelling together. Kya hua agar aaj mil nahi paaye toh? (So what if we couldn’t meet today?) There is always a next time. It’s a promise that humari mulakat chalu rahegi (our meetings will continue). So, be ready.’

Shah Rukh also revealed why the leading lady couldn't make it to the event and sang happy birthday to Nayanthara's mom.

‘Jawan’ also stars Vijay Sethupathi, Deepika Padukone, Sanya Malhotra, Priyamani, Sunil Grover, and Sanjay Dutt.

‘Jawan’ is set to cross the coveted milestone of ₹700 crore worldwide and is nearing the ₹400 crore mark at the Indian box office.
