Shah Rukh Khan made a strong comeback in 2023 with Pathaan, Jawan, and Dunki, as the combined total of these 3 films went over 2600 crores at the global ticket windows. The superstar hosted a greet-meet with his fans to thank them for their undying support and also spoke about the gap he had from December 2018 to January 2023.
Speaking to fans, SRK said, "Because I have been working for 33 years, and you take such a big gap. Normally, you do feel a little nervous, and you feel ki 'arrey yaar! I hope I have got the film right. Usse pehle meri kuch filmein thi jo itni achi nahi gayi to mujhe ye bhi lagne laga tha ki main achi filmein ab bana nahi raha hoon."
"But I think, more than my films, ek pyaar tha logo ka jo Pathaan ke liye, Jawaan ke liye, and Dunki ke liye. The whole country and people outside this country have actually taken me to their hearts, more than the films, and have said, 'arrey yaar, 4 saal ke liye mat jaya karo. 2-4 mahine theek hai," he added.
Concluding the point, SRK stated, "So I am very, very thankful to all of you, to the audience, and to the whole world for making me realise jo main karta hu wo theek karta hoon aur mujhe wo baar baar karte rehna chahiye."
