Despite having a net worth running into thousands of crores, Shah Rukh Khan’s real joy doesn’t come from the flashy side of fame. What truly lights him up is far simpler — the happiness of his loved ones. In a recent chat with journalist Faye D’Souza, filmmaker Anubhav Sinha revealed a deeply personal and endearing side of the global superstar that fans rarely get to see.
Anubhav Sinha, who directed Shah Rukh in the 2011 sci-fi film Ra.One, expressed his admiration for the superstar’s humility and emotional depth. He described Shah Rukh as someone who, despite all his success, still carries the soul of a middle-class boy. Their last meeting, Sinha recalled, ended with him pointing out this exact quality — something even Shah Rukh agreed with.
He emphasized that the idea of being “middle-class” isn’t about money or materialism. In Shah Rukh’s case, it’s about finding genuine joy in the simpler things — like the happiness of his sister, Shahnaz. Rather than luxury brands or lavish indulgences, it’s moments of love and connection that fuel his contentment.
Sinha was particularly touched by Shah Rukh’s deep affection for his family. Whether it’s his sister or his children — Aryan, Suhana, and AbRam — the actor’s world revolves around them. His love for them, Sinha shared, is both heartwarming and inspiring.
He also reflected on how remarkable it is for someone of Shah Rukh’s stature, with such universal popularity, to remain so grounded. For Sinha, knowing Shah Rukh Khan is not just about having worked with a superstar — it’s about witnessing the kindness and humility of a phenomenal human being.
About Shah Rukh Khan’s sister
Shah Rukh Khan may be a global superstar, but his most cherished role is that of a devoted brother. After the tragic loss of their parents, his sister Shahnaz Lalarukh Khan struggled deeply with the emotional aftermath. In a past media interaction, the Pathaan actor revealed that while he threw himself into work, developing a protective sense of detachment, Shahnaz withdrew into silence and despair.
At one point during Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, her health deteriorated so severely that doctors feared the worst. Shah Rukh rushed her to Switzerland for treatment, balancing her care while filming. Though she never fully recovered from the emotional trauma, Shah Rukh has remained her unwavering support system. Despite his fame and success, he often credits his drive and resilience to his desire to shield her from pain.
