¡°I believe that charity should be done in silence and with dignity. One cannot speak about their charitable acts because it loses its purpose. I have been privileged to be able to use my status as a public personality to champion causes close to my heart. I actively participate with the causes of women empowerment, rehabilitation of the underprivileged and basic human rights."
He added,
¡°I firmly believe that I have to give back to the world that has given me so much. I am humbled with this Honorary Doctorate bestowed upon me and would like to thank everyone involved for choosing me."
Over the years, he has established himself as a successful actor, film producer, television host, philanthropist, and entrepreneur. Apart from being one of the biggest superstars in the world, Shah Rukh Khan has also earned love for championing human rights in India.
