[6] His performance in the latter earned him the National Film Award for Best Actor and a second Filmfare Award for Best Comedian. [2] [7] The following year, Khan reunited with Zinta in the romantic comedy Salaam Namaste (2005) and received his first Best Actor nomination at Filmfare for portraying a passionate musician in the musical romance Parineeta (2005).
