Shah Rukh Khan recently recalled his experience in Mumbai as a rookie actor. During an interview with SCREEN, he looked back at his time in the place and opened up about the uncertainty surrounding his dreams and career. However, he recalled standing by the sea and described it as his “quiet companion.”
Shah Rukh noted, “When I first came to Mumbai, there was a moment early on – standing by the water, with very little certainty and a lot of hope – when I thought to myself about who I wanted to become. That moment has stayed with me ever since.”
He also shared about his sea-facing house and its significance in his life. The actor noted, “The sea humbles you. You realize that not everything needs to be controlled and that vastness reminds you of how, metaphorically, there are so many things that are bigger than yourself. That balance between dreaming big and letting go is something I have carried with me over the years.”

“There’s something magical about knowing that out on the open sea, guests are listening to my narration as the sky lights up with the fireworks spectacular. It feels like I am sharing a moment with them that is both grand, yet intimate,” he added.
On the professional front, Shah Rukh is currently lending his voice to The Lion King at the Disney Cruise Line Adventure. He is also preparing to release his upcoming film KING. It is slated to release on December 24, 2026. Apart from the star, the film will also have Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan, Abhay Verma, Raghav Juyal, Anil Kapoor and more in leading roles.
