Recently, an old video of Shah Rukh Khan has gone viral in which the superstar is seen interacting with former PM Manmohan Singh, who back then was the PM, and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. The clip showcases SRK’s enduring charm, and offers a glimpse into his thoughts on political integrity.
In this viral clip, Shah Rukh Khan, known for his wit and charm, is at an event where Rahul Gandhi seeks his counsel with a simple question, “What’s your one piece of advice for politicians?”
SRK appears momentarily flustered, sharing a laugh with the crowd before responding with a playful remark, “Look who you asked!” Shah Rukh Khan draws a humorous comparison between his profession and the world of politics. He candidly admits, “My job involves me to ‘lie and deceit’ for a living, so I’m all show.” This self-deprecating humour is met with hearty laughter and applause from the audience.
However, SRK didn’t stop there. As the laughter subsides, he shifts gears to offer his sincere advice. “I think the only idea should be to work honestly and have pride in your nation. Love the country and let’s not take money under the table. Let’s not do shady stuff. If we do things the right way, we’ll all make money, we’ll all be happy, and we’ll become a great and proud nation.”
