Over the decades, Shah Rukh Khan has remained more than just India’s biggest superstar — he’s a symbol of resilience, gratitude, and quiet wisdom. While his cinematic journey from anti-hero to the nation’s most loved romantic lead is well documented, it’s moments like these from his personal beliefs that truly reveal the man behind the stardom.In a heartfelt conversation that is now going viral on social media, Shah Rukh shared a precious lesson from his childhood, a belief instilled in him by his family that continues to shape his life even today.“I was just taught when I was young that when you pray to Allah, you don’t ask for anything for yourself. You ask for others,” Shah Rukh said, reflecting on his upbringing. It’s a simple, yet profound value — one that taught him selflessness, humility, and faith without expectation.And it’s a principle he’s held onto, even as life gave him everything one could dream of. Recalling the early days of his career, Shah Rukh admitted that many had doubted his choices. “When he gave me everything — I remember Anjam, Baazigar, and Darr — everybody said you can’t do good guys. No one will accept you as a lover boy or a romantic hero.”Yet, undeterred by the skepticism, he followed his instinct and transformed into Bollywood’s ultimate romantic icon. And despite all the adulation and milestones, Shah Rukh believes he has no right to ask for more. “If today I ask for anything from Him, then I’ll be being greedy. And I’m sure even He( God) will just change the channel and say, this guy, what else does he want?” he quipped with characteristic wit.Today, Shah Rukh chooses gratitude over demands. “I dont think I should ask anything from God. I should just now thank Him and work hard towards the fact that I’ve been given so much — whether it’s my mother’s blessings, God’s doing, or the audience’s love. But now I should just make that my existence is worthwhile of all the blessings that I’ve been given. I cannot in any which question what I have been given or what has been taken away from me because I dont think anybody has been so lucky. ”SRK is now gearing up for King with his daughter Suhana Khan, Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukerji, Abhishek A Bachchan and many more.
