Salman Khan was awarded the Global Diversity Award at Britain's House of Commons.
Khan was at the House of Commons in London on Friday, 16 September, and received the award from Keith Vaz, British Parliament's longest-serving Asian MP.
"The Global Diversity Award is given to people of immense stature in terms of what they have done for diversity in the world, and he is certainly one of them," Vaz said.
Vaz praised Khan for being "not just a megastar for Indian and world cinema, but also someone who has done so much for humanitarian causes".
Khan who also runs the Being Human NGO, said, "Thank you for the respect and honour you have given me. My father would have never thought... But the amount of respect you guys have given me, thank you so much for it."
The actor is in Britain for his Da Bangg Tour. The tour, which will take place in Birmingham on 16 September and in London's O2 Arena on 17 September, will also feature artistes like Sonakshi Sinha, Jacqueline Fernandez, Prabhudheva, Sooraj Pancholi and Badshah.
