Shah Rukh Khan Made Everyone Believe They Could Be a Hero,” says filmmaker Akshay Singh on SRK’s 60th birthday.

MUMBAI, India — November 2, 2025:
As fans across the globe celebrate Shah Rukh Khan’s 60th birthday, actor-filmmaker Akshay Singh—director of Pinky Beauty Parlour and creator of Naam Gum Jayega—shared a heartfelt and witty tribute to the superstar who continues to inspire dreamers everywhere.

“SRK Taught Us to Be Brave and Take Risks”

Akshay began by calling Shah Rukh Khan “a living masterclass in ambition, courage, and, of course, those dimples.”

“The most important lesson from his journey is bravery,” Akshay said. “Shah Rukh Khan made every outsider believe they could be a hero.”

He went on to recall how SRK defied early Bollywood norms.

“He didn’t begin as a typical romantic hero. Instead, he played dark, daring roles in Baazigar, Darr, and Anjaam. While most actors avoided such characters, SRK took the risk—and turned it into his biggest reward. That courage gave rise to a brand-new kind of superstar.”

“SRK Is Like Wi-Fi—Connected to Every Generation”

Moving on, Akshay described SRK’s universal charm with humor and warmth.

“SRK is like Wi-Fi—he connects with everyone! Kids adore him, youngsters look up to him, and elders bless him. He evolves faster than any software update, shifting effortlessly from mustard fields to international spy missions.”

He concluded that thought by saying,

“He’s 60 years young—with lifetime validity of stardom.”

“A Boy from Delhi Who Became Hope for Millions”

Furthermore, Akshay spoke about SRK’s journey as a beacon of hope for aspiring artists.

“People love him not just for his films but for who he is—a Delhi boy with no godfather who dreamt big and made it real. His story gave hope to millions like me.”

He added,

“His characters teach us to love bravely, fight fearlessly, and rise again with a smile. He makes us believe that each of us can be the hero of our own story.”

“SRK Is an Emotion”

Continuing his heartfelt reflection, Akshay said,

“When he opens his arms, it feels like a hug to the whole world. When he smiles, hope shines brighter. And when he wins, every outsider feels closer to success.”

He further explained,

“SRK stands for love without limits, ambition without apology, and humility despite greatness. That’s why he isn’t just a superstar—he’s an emotion that unites generations.”

“Chak De! India Is My Favorite Film”

Transitioning to his favorite SRK movie, Akshay shared,

Chak De! India is powerful and inspiring. In that film, SRK romances the audience without a love story. He proved that he could rule hearts even without his iconic open-arm pose.”

“SRK Should Write His Own Life Story”

Akshay also expressed a wish for SRK to pen his autobiography.

“I’d love to know how he manages to be an actor, producer, businessman, and cricket team owner—while still being the King of Romance. I imagine he wakes up each morning thinking, ‘Chalo, aaj bhi duniya jeet lete hain!’”

“Our LoveGuru”

Reflecting on SRK’s romantic era, Akshay said with a laugh,

“From DDLJ to Kal Ho Naa Ho, his songs were our anthems. Every teenage boy tried to copy him—his hairstyle, that eyebrow raise, his effortless charm. The only difference? He got Kajol, and we got rejection letters!”

“SRK Gave My Dreams Wings”

Finally, Akshay ended his tribute with heartfelt gratitude.

“Because of him, my dream of becoming an actor and entering this magical movie world took flight. Shah Rukh Khan made me believe that dreams truly do come true.”
