All it took was his presence at RSIFF to light up the stage, and Twitter! Yeah, we’re talking about the one and only – King Khan aka SRK
Shahrukh Khan, an actor par excellence, the king of Bollywood has once again lighted up social media with his presence at the Red Sea International film festival. He was seen speaking on the platform and when SRK speaks “dil mein kuch kuch hota” hai because all that he speaks comes straight from the heart!
When Shahrukh Khan was honored at the festival he took to the stage to say a few words about the significance of the film industry.
“For me and for all of us present here, ‘film is life’. It is what keeps the moment present, what keeps the beauty resplendent, and what affirms the essence of being alive. Film is the language in which the modern world converses. It is the new idiom in literature through which stories are exchanged in an overwhelming visual and virtual world,” he said. “Film is a unifier because it transits shared human experiences across cultures.
“You like a film because it stirs your emotions, be it in whatever language or culture it is from. And thank God for subtitles. It brings all that is human to the fore and it shows perhaps better than any other art, how despite the immense diversity of the world we live in, our basic pursuits and emotions are the same. Cinema celebrates diversity. It doesn’t stop short of fully exploring differences. And doing so, in the most beautiful fashion, it teaches us not to be afraid of those differences,” he said. “
What grabbed our attention was SRK’s desire to step into a world of action films because he has done in his own words, “so many other genres” at the age of 57. It is poignant to note that being at a stage in his career where he may have seen to achieve it all, he still has goals to achieve which also gives us a reminder that we need to reset our goals as we move along in life. His presence at the film festival is a significant reminder that stars like him learn to evolve over time, for them, it’s never over till it’s over!
Take a look at what he had to say below.
