Shining brighter for them

We love Shah Rukh Khan when he is witty, and we adore him when he is debonair - but when the Badshah gets emotional, he simply steals your heart. Fans felt their heartstrings tug as, at a glitzy Dubai event with close friend Farah Khan - where a commercial tower was launched in his name - the 60-year-old spoke about losing his parents at a young age. "I thought they had become stars in the sky, they would not be able to see me," he said, adding that the grief pushed him to "work harder to become a bigger person." Reflecting on recent milestones - a bronze Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge statue in London and a National Award - he shared that he wanted to grow "so big on Earth" that his parents could see him "from heaven."
