The world famous superstar Shah Rukh Khan has honored to receive an honorary doctorate from the University of Edinburgh. He has honored just for his indefatigable contribution to the Bollywood movies as well as Indian Movie Songs. He has rewarded there and was surrounded by his uncountable fans.


The veteran star Shah Rukh Khan has also shared his contentment by saying that “obviously it is an extremely grateful and I am extremely humbled and I don’t know for I deserved it.” He added by saying that it inspired him and urged him to do more hard work every time than that before it so that he might deserve it “at least in retrospect”.

There are some quotes he shared in his speech such as;

“There's no such thing as 'normal'. That's just another word for lifeless. Madness (of the particularly nice/romantic kind) is an absolute prerequisite to a happy and successful life. Don't ever treat your little insanities as if they are aberrations that ought to be hidden from the rest of the world. All the most beautiful people in the world, the most creative, the ones who led revolutions, who discovered and invented things, did so because they embraced their own idiosyncrasies.”

“Being brave means being shit scared all the way to the party but getting there and doing the 'Funky Chicken' in front of all your teenage kid's friends anyway. Don't let your fears become boxes that enclose you. Open them out, feel them and turn them into the greatest courage you are capable of. I promise you, nothing will go wrong. But if you live by your fears, everything that can possibly go wrong will go wrong and you won't even have done the 'Funky Chicken'.”

“ Don't become a philosopher before you become rich.”

“Art is more important than the artist - have no attachment to your own art - it's regressive, move on.”

“It's OK to be confused. Confusion is the route to all the clarity in the world.”

“If you aren't charged up about doing something, if you don't have what in Hindi we call the "Josh", the fire in your belly for it, then don't do it.”

“Study hard. Work hard. Play harder. Don't be bound by rules, don't hurt anybody and never ever live somebody else's dream.”

“Hindi filmon ki tarah life mein bhi, anth mein sab kuch theek ho jaata hai. Aur agar na ho, toh woh anth nahi hai...picture abhi baaki hai mere doston.”

“Chak De India taught me that whatever it is that is pulling you back, its not going away unless you stand up and start forging your own path with all your might in the opposite direction. Stop whining and start moving.”

“Live now, live today -don't be bound by rules, live your own dream.”

He further talked about his fame, the life he spent from the very beginning of his career till date and he raised the issue of gender equality in Bollywood. He has shared his hopes for the equality of the female and male in the Indian cinema.
