Shah Rukh Khan opened up about losing his parents at an early age on the Global Freight Summit in Dubai recently. The actor made his Bollywood debut on the age of 26 but unfortunately, each his parents Mir Taj Mohammed Khan and Lateef Fatima passed away even before they might see him on the massive screen. Recalling the death of his parents, he said, “My parents died once I was young. My father, once I was 14. My mother, once I was 24. So, I lost them in a niche of 10 years. I had nowhere to go. I had a sister with me. Just the 2 of us left on this world.”
He continued, “I felt one morning that perhaps my parents are there somewhere… and I’ll meet up with them again needless to say. They’re stars within the sky and I’ll meet them once. But aren’t they anxious right away? That, ‘Oh my God, what should be happening to my 24-year-old kid who has no sustenance?’ So, I began working very hard, I became very determined to achieve success because I didn’t want my parents to feel bad that they’ve not fended for me. This can be a very strange technique to take a look at things… I’ll change into successful and switch around and say ‘I’m doing good! Do not feel guilty you died early.”

He then shared his feelings about being a father and said that he’ll feel guilty if he dies early. “Our parents should be missing us…Now, I’m determined for my children… in way. That their lives must be healthy, they must be comfortable. All three of them are very beautiful, very loving and hard working,” the actor concluded.
