Note
  1. Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They acknowledge several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.

In 2008, the University of Windsor conferred an Honorary Doctorate of Law on Kumar in recognition of his contribution to the cinema of India. The following year he was awarded the Padma Shri by the Government of India. In 2011, The Asian Awards honoured Kumar for his achievement in Indian cinema.[2][3]

In 2025, Kumar received the Most Stylish Mega Performer of the Year award at the Bollywood Hungama Style Icons Awards,[4] and was honoured as the Timeless Style Icon at the Hindustan Times India's Most Stylish Awards.[5]
