Once, Rahul Gandhi asked for Shah Rukh Khan's political advice, and King Khan's reply was hands down on something every politician should adhere to.
Shah Rukh Khan is one of the leading actors of Bollywood. In addition to his impeccable acting skills, he is known for his humanitarian work and witty remarks. Shah Rukh Khan is very vocal about his views and never once minces words or tries to act diplomatically. Proof of this was found in a throwback video on our Instagram feed, wherein Rahul Gandhi asked for SRK's political advice, and the latter's reply is class apart.
There is hardly any responsible Indian citizen who doesn't have a strong political sense of what should be done to make India a better place to live in. Shah Rukh Khan, in a throwback video, talked about the same. It so happened that Rahul Gandhi, at an event, asked SRK, "What's your one piece of advice for politicians?"

When asked for his political advice, Shah Rukh Khan didn't hesitate to share his straightforward views. He first acknowledged the nature of his profession, which involves 'lying and deceit ', but he emphasised that politicians should not follow this. Instead, they should be proud of their nation, refrain from underhanded dealings, and work honestly. In his own words:
"My job involves me to 'lie and deceit' for a living, so I'm all show. I think the only idea should be to work honestly and have pride in your nation. Love the country and let's not take money under the table. Let's not do shady stuff. If we do things the right way, we'll all make money, we'll all be happy, and we'll become a great and proud nation. So my advice to all politicians is, be as honest as realistically possible."

Shah Rukh Khan's father, Meer Taj Mohammed Khan, was an independence activist. In his memory, SRK established the Meer Foundation, a rehabilitation centre for acid attack survivors. This foundation, a testament to his commitment to social causes, also plays a crucial role in promoting women's empowerment by providing vocational training and facilities to those in need.

Shah Rukh Khan once visited the Nanavati Hospital to visit one of his colleagues' family. Upon his visit, he noticed that the hospital's condition was quite poor due to a lack of funds, and the machinery needed a major update. Deeply moved, SRK donated a substantial amount to the hospital so that they could have the required upgrade. In honour of this, the Nanavati Hospital authorities named the children's ward after Shah Rukh Khan's mother, Lateef Fatima Khan. SRK was very touched by this honour and spoke about it in several of his interviews. He continues donating to charities that work towards wellness.
