When actor Mehmood’s son informed Shah Rukh Khan of his slim odds of becoming an actor, Shah Rukh Khan was devastated.
A king, Shah Rukh Khan. He may have come to power through luck, hard effort, or the blessings of his late parents. He had every right to govern; it was his destiny. The actor is one of the most paid actors in the world, is well known throughout the world, and has a name that is a brand. He manifested all of these qualities when he performed the song “Bus Itna Sa Khwaab Hai” in the film Yes Boss. Do you realise, though, that the actor was devastated to learn he would never succeed as an actor?
SRK previously revealed in an interview that actor Mehmood’s son Macky Ali had informed him that despite being a fantastic actor and dancer, he would never be able to get into films because of his appearance. When he heard this, Shah Rukh, who was a theatre performer at the time, was inconsolable.
In an interaction with Priety Zinta in one of her shows, Shah Rukh Khan recalled, “Mehmood sahab, wo hamare bahit close the, Bangalore mein rehte the wo to hum unke neighbours the. To unke ladke the Macky. Unlog ke paas pehli baar video camera tha to unhone mujhe shoot kiya aur mera dil tod diya. Main theatre karta tha. To meri photo unhone li aur phir meri mummy ko kaha ki bahut accha acting karta hai ye aur naachta bhi accha hai. Sab kuch theek hai iska lekin dikhta bahut kharab hai to ye Hindi filmo mein kabhi hero nahi banega.”
In the video clip, which was posted on Instagram by the SRK fan club _srkvibe2.0_motivation, the actor confesses to having been devastated when actor Macky Ali informed his mother that he would never succeed as an actor. But it wasn’t until much later that his mother gave him the assurance to dominate this world and how.
He narrated, “My mother who thought I was the most beautiful child in the world, she was heartbroken. Aur wo Hyderabadi thi, unhone kaha arre, mitti paro uspe, koi farak nahi padta. Tummma bahut khoobsoorat hai. Bilkul fikar nahi karo. Tum bahut accha actor banega. And then unfortunately my mom and dad both are not alive to see me become a film actor. I think my parents have make sure ki main zindagi mein jahan bhi jaaun, jidhar bhi jaaun, log khush hote hain mujhko milkar, aur mujhe bahut khushi milti hai.:
What SRK reveals next will give you major KGF‘s iconic dialogue, Kya chahiye tere ko….duniya’ vibes. King Khan revealed, “But I…thoda sa pompous lagta hai, but I tell everyone, I am the great Indian dream, and I think it’s only because of my parents…” In fact the whole story gives a major KGF vibe with Sultan, living to achieve the dream his mother saw for him…to rule this world and become the richest man!
Even fans were emotional after they saw the clip and had endearing reactions. A user wrote, “A queen has raised a king.” Another comment read, “‘I am from Shahrukh Khan’s country’ is trump card for us when we go abroad.” A third comment said, “Dil jeetne aaya tha..duniya jeet liya king ne..” Another comment read, “The great Indian dream!”
