Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan is at the World Economic Forum (WEF) summit to receive the Crystal award along with Blanchett and legendary musician Elton John. Receiving the award, Khan applauded Blanchett — who was honoured with the award just before him — for being the queen of billions of hearts, including his own. He talked extensively about his social initiative, which he has named after his father, and the reason for the same. Let us take a look at some of the images from the summit:
