Shah Rukh Khan Opens Up About His Struggles: ‘I Locked Myself in the Bathroom and Cried’

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan, often hailed as a source of inspiration for millions, recently shared insights into the challenges he faced during his journey to stardom. Known for his charisma, wit, and talent, Shah Rukh Khan is admired not only in India but across the globe. While his immense success has made him a household name, the “King of Bollywood” has also experienced moments when his films failed to perform well at the box office. Reflecting on those tough times, he candidly discussed how he dealt with failures during a recent event.

A Global Icon with a Touch of Vulnerability

Shah Rukh Khan’s fan base spans continents, with his unique humor, style, and acting prowess captivating audiences worldwide. On November 19, the actor graced the stage at the Global Freight Summit held at Dubai Exhibition Centre, Expo City. During the event, he discussed various aspects of his life, including his stardom, business ventures, and, notably, his struggles with box office failures.

Shah Rukh Khan Take on Stardom and Failure

Having appeared in over 100 films throughout his illustrious career, Shah Rukh spoke not just about his achievements but also about the challenges he faced. Addressing the audience, he emphasized the importance of introspection over self-doubt during moments of failure.

“Failures Are Lessons in Disguise”

Encouraging people to reflect rather than dwell on their failures, Shah Rukh said, “When you fail, don’t assume that your product, service, or work was entirely wrong. Perhaps you misunderstood the ecosystem you were operating in. You need to analyze how people are reacting. If I can’t evoke emotions in the people I serve, my product won’t work—no matter how great it seems.”

When asked if he has ever criticized his own work, Shah Rukh responded honestly, “Yes, I have. I hate feeling this way, but I used to cry in my bathroom a lot. I never showed it to anyone. You must believe that the world isn’t against you. If your film didn’t perform well, it’s not because of a conspiracy or bad luck. You need to accept that you might have made it poorly, learn from it, and move forward.”

Moving On from Disappointment

Shah Rukh underlined the importance of resilience during tough times. He explained, “There will be moments of disappointment, but there will also be moments that urge you to stand up and move forward. You have to push yourself because the world isn’t out to get you. Life doesn’t conspire against you—it simply moves on. You can’t blame life for what’s happening; instead, you need to take responsibility and focus on your next step.”

Through his words, Shah Rukh Khan offered a profound lesson on dealing with setbacks. His journey from struggles to becoming a global superstar is a testament to the power of perseverance, self-belief, and the courage to face failure head-on.
