Shah Rukh Khan, aka King Khan of Bollywood, was present today in Delhi for the award ceremony. He was awarded the Indian of the Year honour at the CNN-News18 Awards 2023 event. During the speech, Shah Rukh Khan finally broke the silence on the trouble he faced for a few years.
"The last four, five years have been a bit of a ride for me and my family. I am sure some of you also because of Covid and stuff. Most of my films flopped, a lot of specialists and analysts started writing my death knell, and some idiots did the same, which actually is the same thing, analysts and idiots. Not something that I really bother about," he said.
Talking about his personal life and son Aryan Khan's matter, SRK stated, "At a personal level, a little bit of bothersome and unpleasant things also happened to say the least, which made me learn a lesson that be quiet, be very quiet, and work hard with dignity. When you think everything is good and still know it in your heart when everything is good, suddenly, out of nowhere, life may come and hit you."
"I don't just feel like the Indian of the year. I am an Indian of all the ages gone by. I will be the Indian of all the years to come. I am an Indian of all ages," Khan concluded in his own witty style.
