He used to have a close bond with his mother. Let’s see who this person is. The Bollywoods King Here we are talking about none other than Shah Rukh Khan who aspired to be an actor and with his mother’s belief in him accomplished his dream and became the unstoppable King Khan. Fueled by his desire he completed school college and the National School of Drama before ultimately stepping into the world to seize the reins and govern it. A Close Bond with Mother That Became a Pillar Shah Rukh Khan faced a tragic loss when he lost his father Meer Taj Mohammed Khan at just 14 years old. His mother Lateef Fatima Khan became his sole guardian and the center of his world providing unwavering support as he grew up. In an interview with Stardust SRK shared how his mother’s unconditional support helped him move through life’s challenges. “My mother was always incredibly proud of me. In her eyes I was the best and I started to believe that. She made me feel that way. But after she passed away I suddenly realized I wasn’t the best after all. I was just a nobody. It was her biggest dream to see me on the big screen. She sacrificed so much for me and no one else on this earth would have done as much… I was still quite young when my father died and I didn’t shed a tear then. But when my mother passed that’s when I really broke down. It was such a strange and emotional experience… I still can’t fully process it… I might start crying just thinking about it…” When Shah Rukh Lost His Strongest Pillar In 1991 Shah Rukh featured on Simi Garewal’s popular chat show Rendezvous with Simi Garewal where he spoke about his mother’s demise and how it broke him completely. He said “My mother died shortly after the release of my debut serial Circus. In the ICU she sat up with a blank expression on her face. She was a gorgeous woman. I told Mummy that you would be fine and you would be okay for me. Im going to do films. My serial (Circus) is coming soon. That night the doctor arrived and said ‘Woh tumhari mummy ko saans chadh rahi hai humein nahin maloom abhi kya karna hai.’ He asked that I have some injections. I traveled throughout Delhi... I could not get them… I had just four and the doctor wanted twenty.”
