SRK on failure and how he overcame it
Shah Rukh Khan graced the eleventh World Government Summit held in Dubai and highlighted his major ups and downs. When asked how he dealt with failure during 2018–2023, the superstar confessed to deep introspection over his massive flop. He explained how he learned the art of making the perfect pizza.
“Yes, I had massive flops. And they did very, very badly. And while I was doing all of that, I was licking my wounds. I learned how to make the best pizza in the world. I stopped listening to stories, and I stopped wanting to tell stories. I found myself and made myself a small kitchen. And I started learning how to make pizzas.”.
The Jawan actor also highlighted how perseverance helped him master the pizza-making skill, and as a result, he had a blockbuster comeback with not one but three critically acclaimed and successful films in 2023. “And I learned, what do you ask me to do? Begin with perseverance, because to get the perfect pizza, it takes millions of square pizzas before you're able to make it completely round. So I learned perseverance. And I'll make the best pizza in the world,” SRK added further.
During the inspirational conversation at the panel, Shah Rukh Khan also reflected upon his core values to motivate the youth for a successful journey in the future despite the tough circumstances. The Pathaan actor was also credited with huge support from his family, children, and his teams for sticking up for himself in his career slump.
