Shah Rukh Khan talks about losing his parents at an early age, says, ‘Just ten years apart, It left me and my sister alone in the world…’

Shah Rukh Khan, the King Khan of Bollywood, recently spoke at the Global Freight Summit in Dubai and offered motivational remarks and insights on handling setbacks.

The actor, who has been in the film industry for more than thirty years, also discussed his early acting career and the things that gave him the willpower to pursue it.

In the interview, Shah Rukh Khan reflected on his background and personal growth, sharing, "I lost my parents at a young age—my father passed away when I was 14, and my mother when I was 24, just ten years apart. It left me and my sister alone in the world, with no one else to turn to."

He continued and said, "I felt one morning that maybe my parents are there somewhere… and I will meet up with them again for sure. They are stars in the sky and I will meet them once. But aren't they worried right now? That, ‘Oh my God, what must be happening to my 24-year-old kid who has no sustenance?’ So I started working very hard, I became very determined to be successful because I didn't want my parents to feel bad that they have not fended for me. It is a very strange way to look at things… I will become successful and turn around and say 'I am doing good! Don't feel guilty you died early.' I will feel very guilty if I died early. Our parents must be missing us… Now I am determined for my children… in a good way. That their lives should be healthy, they should be happy. All three of them are very beautiful, very loving and hard working."

Shah Rukh last appeared in Rajkummar Hirani's 'Dunki', where he worked alongside, Taapsee Pannu and Vicky Kaushal. His upcoming venture will be 'King', which will be directed by Sujoy Ghosh and stars his daughter Suhana Khan and Bollywood actor, Abhishek Bachchan.
