Superstar Shah Rukh Khan is undoubtedly the biggest star in the country today. After delivering two of the biggest blockbusters in 2023, the Dunki actor recently sat for a rare interview at the World Government’s Summit in Dubai. During that summit, Shah Rukh Khan spoke with journalist Richard Quest about his career, his long sabbatical, his dream at this juncture of life and revised the time he lost his parents.
Talking to Richard, Shah Rukh Khan shared how he lost his parents at an early age and had to lead a life with utmost perseverance. He shared, “When I was young, I lost my parents very early. I was a young orphan who had to work his way through it.”
When asked what his dream was, SRK added, “When I started I just wanted to survive, be able to get a week, month, or a year’s work, and make sure my films do well. But as years have gone by, my whole job has become more motivated towards bringing technology into the Indian film industry. I want to end my career, which is far from ending right now, I have a good 35 years to go. I want to make that film which the whole world likes and then nobody on a big stage like this asks me why haven’t you crossed over? That film should cross me over. That’s my dream.”
Shah Rukh also spoke about his five-year-long sabbatical, and said, “I had massive flops, and they did very, very badly. I was licking my wounds. But you know what I did? I learnt to make the best pizza in the world. I stopped listening to stories, I stopped wanting to tell stories, I made myself a little kitchen, and I started learning how to make pizzas. I learnt perseverance. Because to make the perfect round pizza, you have to first make a million square ones.”
