After receiving an award lately, Shah Rukh Khan talked about his son Aryan Khan’s arrest in 2021 for the first time. While the actor had a blockbuster film last year, he has limited his engagement with the media and has only spoken directly to his fans through social media. When Shah Rukh got a special award from News18 on Wednesday, he spoke about the terrible circumstances his family has faced in recent years and the lessons he has learned from them.
“The last 4-5 years have been a bit of a ride for me and my family. I’m sure for some of you also because of Covid. Most of my films flopped. Analysts started writing my death knells,” he said, referring to the trade analysts as “idiots.”
He also talked about his “personal” problems, likely referring to Aryan’s arrest back in 2002 during the Cordelia cruise drug bust. Aryan, who had been jailed for nearly a month, was later cleared of all charges.
SRK stated, “On a personal level, a 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, suddenly out of nowhere, life will come and hit you.” He added, “But this is the time when you need to be the hopeful, honest storyteller.”
He concluded his speech by quoting a line from his film Om Shanti Om, indicating that if there isn’t a happy ending, it only means that the story is still left to be told.
