[Oshoim]

My whole teenage and adult life I never appreciated him as actor, but I m getting to know this man and as a person he is a gem

[adityaraajnandi]

I don't know why people in my nation hate him so much.He is such an amazing person.

"if you have not seen my work..I feel sad for you" 😂😂

[LilySteph]

Adore him. I’m a black American woman. I’m only saying this because I love his films, I love the beauty of Bollywood….the music, dance, heartfelt stories, it’s like poetry. Beautiful culture and great food. I can sit through a Bollywood film and enjoy it if it were 5 hours lol

I feel pity for those who don't know SRK well enough or who don't admire him.He is a living legend!

SRK IS LIKE A OLD WINE IMPROVING YEAR BY YEAR.

[arindamchowdhury]

Begins with NAMASKAR and ends with ADAB !!
SRK is the greatest specimen of religious diversity that is India!!

[helenpaul]

I never knew SRK is such a deep thinker, prolific speaker and highly intelligent. His vocabulary commands is exceptional. If he is not simply an actor, he could easily be an academic or an orator. Proud of my all time fav Hollywood actor. An Australian here.

[carolinekamande]

Love this guy every time, the eloquence, the humor, the wisdom is just amazing, all time superstar.

[riturajprasad]

He completely changed my views about him :)

This is the most popular guy in Nigeria 🇳🇬 his posters are everywhere on Tik tuk, in barber shops, on street lol even our politicians envy Shahrukh.

[poulamichowdhury]

I knew shah rukh was a profound person, and still this managed to surprise me. My god! What a man and what a speech.

The first movie that I ever watched as a kid was of SRK, I was then may be 4-5 years old but I fell in love with that 30 years old man. Gradually, growing up, I started watching more of his art films than his commercial dramas, then I realized my keen interest in Drama, theatrical culture, cinematography, direction, scripts etc., being a small town girl from a very common and middle class family, I was always told that the world I was dreaming of, was something I could never achieve, as a teenager I was told I can never make my ends meet in the show business, the eighteen years old me had to choose a carrier that wasn’t what I dreamed of ever.
Even though I could never build up the courage to fight the stereotype of a small town middle class girl to become a writer/director in show business, I would say I wasn’t courageous enough to be SRK ever. I chose to be a mediocre, I chose to have a simple life that I never wanted to have, I chose to write comments in my phone on Ted Talks.
I really would like to appreciate what SRK must have gone through to achieve what he is today, lots of love to SRK. I’m your fan forever.

[rajenjoshi]

this guy is out of this world.. whenever I listen to him or see him, I get positive vibes n inspiration..! huge huge respect.

[Native-Kitty]

I'm not Indian, but I have seen about 3 or 4 of his movies (thanks to Netflix with English subtitles). I really enjoy his work and he's hilarious!!! Keep doing great work SRK!
