When Shah Rukh Khan said of the moment his patriotism was questioned: ‘I feel like crying’

Shah Rukh Khan is one of the biggest stars in the country and his popularity knows no bounds. The actor has experienced pain, controversy and heartache over the years. But he was questioned about his patriotism for expressing his thoughts on intolerance. The Jawan star once shared how sad he felt about the whole thing. Scroll down for details.

SRK is not just a movie star; he is an icon and people look up to him. He went through many ups and downs in his personal life. One of the hardest times was when his Aryan Khan was arrested. He was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in connection with an alleged drug offense on board a cruise ship off the coast of Mumbai. His films were not doing well; everything was going wrong.

According to the ABP report, Shah Rukh Khan felt like crying when his patriotism was questioned due to his observation on the growing intolerance in India. He shared his grief on the Indian television show Aap Ki Adalat. He said: “Sometimes I feel very sad, I feel like crying, that I should be made to say that I belong to this country, that I am a patriot. I’m a patriot, rather we all are. We don’t have to compete with others to say we are patriots.”

He continued: “I get very sad sometimes when I have to explain every time how good a patriot I am… I will tell all young people to be tolerant, be happy, work hard and take this nation forward. Petty, petty issues should not harm our nation’s interests.” The jawan star continued, “We should move forward with positivity as we live in the greatest country in the world. We are one of the safest and most beautiful nations in the world. We should not engage in obscurantist petty issues.”

Shah Rukh Khan also explained that he is the proudest Indian ever because these are the people who have given him love and made him the star he is today. SRK said, “Whether my film (‘Fan’) is a hit or not, I want to say for the last time, I will not repeat it again, that there is no greater patriot than me in this country. “Our country, our motherland, Bharat Mata, we all love her; why should we have a discussion like this.” He added, “I am the proudest Indian in the world because no one has received more from this country than me… I hope I can work for the greatness of my nation and so can my family.”

On the professional front, Shah Rukh Khan owned 2023 giving three blockbusters – Pathaan, Jawan and Dunki. His next project is with his daughter Suhana Khan and will be directed by Sujoy Ghosh. The film was tentatively titled King.
