Shah Rukh Khan is one of India’s biggest superstars. His fame is not only limited to our nation but spread across the globe. He featured in numerous blockbusters and the most recent is Dunki (2023). But the journey of SRK was not as smooth as it seemed. The actor lost his parents at an early age. He recently attended the World Government’s Summit in Dubai and opened up about the same and also discussed what he learned during his five-year break.

During that summit, Shah Rukh Khan spoke with journalist Richard Quest not only about his career but also his long sabbatical, his dream at this juncture of life, and recalled the time he lost his parents.
Talking to Richard, Shah Rukh shared how he lost his parents at a young age and had to live life with great perseverance. He said, “When I was young, I lost my parents very early. I was a young orphan who had to work his way through it.”

When he was asked about his five-year-long sabbatical, SRK said that he had massive flops, and they did badly to him. He added that during the break, he learned to make the best pizza in the world, and stopped listening to stories and 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,” he said.
When asked what his dream was, SRK added that when he started he just wanted to survive, be able to get a week, month, or a year’s work, and make sure his films do well. But eventually, he realized that his whole job had 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,” King Khan shared.
