SRK also revealed about his late parents and how they would react to all the love he recieves from his fans. He said, “I think my mother would say first, ‘Tum bahut patle hogae ho, thoda sa weight put on karlo. Kaisa tumhara mooh hogaya hai andar-andar, tumhara kalle andar chale gae hain (You’ve become so thin, put on some weight. Your face has sunk in, cheeks have disappeared) so eat a little more.”
“But I think my father and my mother both would be very proud of I think my one achievement… if I can call it an achievement, I think it is something we have to do and something we live by… I think they will be proud of the way we have been able to bring up my three children. I think they will be very happy,” Shah Rukh Khan added.
