Weaving words in SRK¡¯s appreciation now is the celebrated author Paulo Coelho.

One must have read or heard about the popular book, ¡®The Alchemist¡¯; it is Paulo¡¯s creation. For SRK, the author took to Twitter and wrote, ¡°King. Legend. Friend. But above all GREAT ACTOR ( for those who don¡¯t know him in the West, I strongly suggest ¡°My name is Khan- and I am not a terrorist¡±).¡±

From being in a school play with SRK to playing a pilot in his film Pathaan, actor Keith Sequeira says ¡®life has come into a full circle¡¯.

He told India Today, ¡°It goes without saying it is a dream for any actor to be a part of a project like that. Shah Rukh was also an elder from my school (St. Columba's School). I remember as a kid, I did a play with him. I was like a tiny kid coming full circle. Even there, it was a small part and Shah Rukh was The Wizzard Of Oz. I remember from back then. (I thought) one day, I will do something in his film also. And then I got to know I was going to do this (Pathaan)."

Rajshri Deshpande who is winning accolades for her recent Netflix release Trial By Fire revealed SRK helped her during the pandemic.

She took to Twitter and wrote, ¡°During covid, @iamsrk helped me help Marathwada, Kerala & Chhattisgarh with his @MeerFoundation team. And today, @FilmCompanion mentions us together as the best performers of January! I don¡¯t know when I¡¯ll meet King Khan. But I¡¯ll always dream of working with him!"
