Shahrukh Khan is quite a supporter of women empowerment and this is a sign of a man who is quite confident and does not feel threatened by women gaining the upper hand .
SRK earlier had ensured that the actress’s name should precede the actors name in credits, this he had done in Chennai Express where Deepika Padukone’s name had preceded him. Â And now he has gone a step further as he will be doing the same in award shows next year.
As per sources SRK said, “I am hosting an award show next year and I will ensure that the best actress award should be saved for the last. It is a nice thing. Hindi films, and films at large, are a little patriarchal. But don’t worry. It will change in the next ten years. Women will rule.”
Shahrukh Khan was motivated by good friend R Balki’s ‘Tata Tea ad’ to take this step, “Balki had made that ad for Tata Tea and I got the idea. Since Chennai Express is our film, I could take the call. We will do the same thing with Farah’s Happy New Year,” he added.
Good to see the celebrities taking this step  in giving women their due.
