Shah Rukh Khan, Bollywood’s undisputed king, continues to redefine stardom on a global scale. From winning the National Award for Jawan (2023) to seeing his iconic Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ) immortalized in bronze in London, SRK has reached new heights of recognition and adoration.
Honoring an Iconic Film with a London Statue
Last week, SRK unveiled a bronze statue of his legendary DDLJ pose alongside co-star Kajol in London. The statue marks the first Indian film to feature on the Scenes in the Square public art trail, curated by the Heart of London Business Alliance. The moment resonated deeply with fans worldwide, celebrating the film’s timeless impact and Shah Rukh Khan’s cultural influence.
A Tribute to His Late Parents
Speaking at an event in Dubai, SRK opened up about his personal journey, reflecting on the loss of his parents at a young age. “I thought they had become stars in the sky and would not be able to see me,” he said. Driven by that memory, he shared, “I worked harder to become a bigger person. God has been very kind – I just put a bronze statue in London of DDLJ, and I won the National Award. Now, in Dubai, I have a building by my name. The idea was that I become so big on earth that my parents can see me from heaven.”
Shahrukhz by Danube: A Landmark in Dubai
SRK’s legacy isn’t limited to films. The actor recently launched Shahrukhz by Danube in Dubai, a 55-floor tower spanning 1 million square feet. With over 40 luxury amenities, including a sky pool, helipad, and exclusive business lounges, the property is poised to become one of the most prestigious addresses in the city. Each unit starts at $460k (approx. Rs 4.2 crore), with completion expected by 2029.
Heartwarming Reunion with Farah Khan
The Dubai event also brought SRK and director Farah Khan together for a nostalgic dance to the iconic song Chaiya Chaiya. Their playful banter and affectionate moments delighted fans, adding a personal touch to the glitzy launch.
