Shah Rukh Khan's Witty Response When Asked What if SRK Stood for Shekhar Radha Krishna, Watch Old Video
Shah Rukh Khan was once asked whether he would have enjoyed the same kind of stardom and acclaim if his name was Shekhar Radha Krishna.

Shah Rukh Khan is undeniably one of the biggest film stars in the country. Popular for not only his exceptional acting skills and his charm but King Khan is also known for his wit and honesty while dealing with questions thrown at him. Once, during an interaction, the Pathaan actor was asked whether he would have enjoyed the same kind of stardom and acclaim if his name was Shekhar Radha Krishna instead of Shah Rukh Khan. His candid response is what makes him a cut above his contemporaries.

“I don’t think there would be any difference (if he had a different name). I have never been made aware through my profession, or otherwise, about my religion in this wonderful country. I find it really strange when I hear this also. I think artists have this tendency to transcend divisions. I think art and artists have that tendency since you don’t really consider who is from what community, from what sect, you just like it/them or you don’t. I would still smell as sweet whatever name you call me by," SRK said at India Today Conclave in 2009.

Tackling another question that was posed to him regarding whether cinema and art played a role in religion or spirituality. Shah Rukh Khan had expressed, “I think spirituality is a private thing. It has to come from within. For me, acting is spiritual. It will be fantastic if we can do it through the cinema. But if I do it through cinema, my spirituality may not work for you. It will stop being universal. But it is a good thought. The only thing is that the film won’t be a hit."

It is slated to release on January 25, 2023.
