Shah Rukh Khan is one of the most iconic and beloved actors in Indian cinema, known for his charisma, versatility, and immense popularity both in India and around the world.
Often referred to as the “King of Bollywood,” SRK has starred in numerous blockbuster films, earning critical acclaim and a massive fan following over his decades-long career. His contributions to the film industry have not only made him a household name but also a cultural icon.
Case in point, Shah Rukh Khan captivated the audience when he attended his masterclass after being honored as the first Indian celebrity to receive the prestigious Pardo alla Carriera, or Career Leopard, Lifetime Achievement Award at the 77th Locarno Film Festival. On Monday, Google India’s official X account shared one of Shah Rukh’s quotes from the session.
During the hour-long session, Shah Rukh was in top form, showcasing his wit. To fans who might not be familiar with him, he humorously said, “Google me and then come back!” Google India responded to this comment by sharing the quote on their X account and tagging him with a crown emoji.
Reacting to Google India’s post, a fan exclaimed, “King Khan for a reason!” Another added, “King of the industry!” A third fan commented, “Even Google India knows he is the King.”
During the discussion, Shah Rukh reflected on his long career and spoke about working with renowned directors like Yash Chopra, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and Farah Khan.
He also mentioned, “Some of the best storytelling comes from the South of India. Some of the greatest superstars of Indian cinema are from Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, etc. Of course, we know of them in India, but with films like Jawan, Baahubali, and RRR, everybody is noticing it… After working with Mani Ratnam sir in Dil Se, I wanted to work in a ‘South’ genre film. It wasn’t enough that I worked with a South Indian director.”
