Shah Rukh Khan is one of the top superstars of Bollywood and has beautifully maintained his stardom in a career of over 30 years. His stardom is not just limited to India over several countries in the world.
Through his work, SRK has traveled all over the world, but do you know, for a long time in his life he didn't visit Kashmir, because of a promise to his dad?
Shah Rukh Khan promised his dad that he would only visit Kashmir with him
While talking to Amitabh Bachchan during a Kaun Banega Crorepati episode in 2012, Shah Rukh Khan shared that his grandmother was Kashmiri and his father had once told him that you must visit Istanbul, Italy, Rome, and Kashmir once in life. He also added that you may visit all the places without him but don't go to Kashmir without him.
SRK further shared that his father passed away 'very early' and after that, he has been all over the world but never visited Kashmir despite getting several opportunities only because of his word with his father. However, when Yash Chopra asked him that they'd be shooting for Jab Tak Hai Jaan in Kashmir then he thought that since his father was no more, it'd be best to visit there with the legendary filmmaker.

Aur pehli baar, bahut saalon baad, mujhe ek ajeeb se roohani khushi mili" (I was going through helicopter from Gulmarg and after a long time, I felt inner happiness). he said.
