But beyond the numbers, Shah Rukh Khan also touched hearts. He opened up about the struggles he and his family faced in recent years, sharing valuable lessons learned. This honesty and vulnerability endeared him to fans even more, solidifying his status as not just a king of the box office and Google, but also a king of hearts.

So, yeah, 2023 was pretty much the Year of Shah Rukh Khan. He dominated the screens, the searches, and most importantly, the hearts of his fans. And there’s no doubt he’ll keep doing it for years to come.

“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, some idiots did the same, which actually is the same thing, analysts and idiots. Not something that I really bother about,” Shah Rukh Khan said.

“And then, 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, whoom, life may come and hit you,” he added.

“But this is a time you need to be the hopeful, happy, honest storyteller, and continue doing whatever you are doing and kind of think this is a nasty plot twist, this is not the story you are living. And 100 percent is not the story’s end. Because somebody somewhere told me that life mein filmon ki tarah, anth mein, sad theek ho jaata hai. Aur agar theek na ho, toh anth nahi hai. Picture abhi baaki hai mere dost. And I believe in him because I believe that goodness begets goodness,” the Jawan star said.
