Shah Rukh Khan, who was recently honoured with an award, has spoken up about the arrest of his son Aryan Khan back in 2021. While Shah Rukh has had successful films last year, the actor has limited his interaction with the media and has only chosen to speak directly to his fans via social media. On Wednesday, when Shah Rukh received a special award from News18, the actor addressed the difficult times that his family has seen in the last few years and shared the lesson he learnt during this time.
“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 as he compared the trade analysts to “idiots”. He then addressed the problems he faced on a “personal” level as he presumably spoke about Aryan’s arrest back in 2021 during the Cordelia cruise drugs bust. Aryan, who was behind bars for almost a month, was later cleared of all charges.
Shah Rukh Khan said, “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 continued, “But this is the time when you need to be the hopeful, honest storyteller.” He ended his speech by quoting a line from his film Om Shanti Om implying that if it isn’t a happy ending, that only means that the story is still left to be told.

SRK acknowledged that his two films Pathaan and Jawan did “unprecedented” business at the box office and shared that he was aware that many of the viewers who made these films a success were there to only support Shah Rukh, even though they were not the biggest fans of his acting.
Shah Rukh Khan’s film Pathaan, Jawan and Dunki did a collective business of over Rs 2500 crore worldwide. The actor is yet to announce his next project.
