At the Global Freight Summit in Dubai, Shah Rukh Khan shared a heartfelt perspective, reflecting on how his parents’ early passing shaped his drive for success. He revealed his motivation stemmed from a desire to reassure them, imagining himself saying, "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 hardworking,” the Jawan actor shared.
King Khan further shared his journey of coping with the early loss of his parents, Mir Taj Mohammed Khan and Lateef Fatima Khan.

For the 59-year-old actor, their imagined pride became a driving force in his journey.
