Shah Rukh Khan Shares With Rani Mukerji About His 'Hichki Moment' And How He Overcame It - Watch Video

Rani Mukerji, who is currently on a promotional spree as her film Hichki is up for release, met Shah Rukh Khan recently. On meeting King Khan, Rani asked Shah Rukh about the ‘hichki moment’ in his life and how he overcame it. In the video below, Shah Rukh talks about the tragic time when he lost his parents. The Jab Harry Met Sejal actor said, "My greatest 'Hichki moment' is the death of my parents. I was 15 when my father passed away and 26 when my mother passed away. It was very sad for us. The empty house without my parents used to come to bite us (my sister and me). The loneliness, pain and sadness of the loss of both my parents, could have been overwhelming enough to take over my life wholly. I decided to overcome this Hichki moment by letting acting fill up my entire life."

He also added further saying, "I always say this that one morning, when I wake up, I will realise that I have spent all these emotions and now have nothing more to give (as an actor). Otherwise, death is a hiccup from which there is no coming back. I realised that and therefore, overcame it by giving my work, my all." Shah Rukh also added that that "God will also give you multiple ways to deal with it (hiccups) in this lifetime."

Rani is coming back on the silverscreens after a gap of three years with Hichki, which is directed by Siddharth P Malhotra and produced by Maneesh Sharma. The film chronicles the journey of a teacher who suffers from Tourette syndrome. Hichki hits the cinemas on March 23, 2018.
