Shah Rukh also spoke about his social initiative via Meer Foundation, an organisation that works extensively towards empowering women subjected to acid attack.&nbsp; 
 
&quot;To disfigure a woman by throwing acid on her face is to me one of the crudest acts of subjugation imaginable. At the source of it lies the view that a woman does not have any right to assert her choice or say `no` to advances by a man or a group of men.&quot; 
 
Shah Rukh also thanked his sister Shehnaz Lalarukh Khan, wife Gauri and daughter Suhana. 
 
&quot;I want to thank my sister, wife and my little daughter for bringing me up well and teaching me the value of requesting, sometimes imploring and sometimes even begging a yes from a women instead of forcing on her,&quot; he said before wrapping up his speech with a &quot;Namaskar&quot; and &quot;Jai Hind&quot;.&nbsp;
