On the same platform, Khan also shared a rather emotional anecdote which left fans soaring with pride. Sharing that his parents passed away at a young age, he missed that desire to feel close to them. Since he believed they had become stars in the sky, Khan shared, “I worked harder to become a bigger person.

“The idea was that I become so big on earth that my parents can see me from heaven,” Shah Rukh Khan concluded.
