SRK also opened up about his late parents Lateef Fatima and Mir Taj Mohammed Khan. The actor, who made his at 26, lost both his parents at a young age. In the interview, Shah Rukh Khan talked about the grief of losing his parents and how the tragedy boosted his determination to succeed. He said, “My parents died when I was young. My father, when I was 14. My mother, when I was 24. So I lost them in a gap of 10 years. I had nowhere to go. I had a sister with me. Just the two of us left in this world.”
“I felt one morning that maybe my parents are there somewhere… and I will meet up with them again for sure. They are stars in the sky and I will meet them once. But aren’t they worried right now? That, ‘Oh my God, what must be happening to my 24-year-old kid who has no sustenance?’ So I started working very hard, I became very determined to be successful because I didn’t want my parents to feel bad that they have not fended for me. This is a very strange way to look at things… I will become successful and turn around and say ‘I am doing good! Don’t feel guilty you died early,” the actor added.
