Bollywood royalty has descended upon Dubai, and the city is buzzing with excitement. Shah Rukh Khan, affectionately known as ‘King Khan’, was met with a roaring reception from a packed audience this morning as he took the stage at the Global Freight Summit held at the Dubai Exhibition Centre, Expo City. The iconic actor participated in a Fireside Chat titled 'From Bollywood Superstardom to Business Success – Key Learnings On and Off Screen', expertly moderated by Euronews Middle East Bureau Chief Jane Witherspoon.
With a filmography boasting over 100 movies and a spot on Time Magazine's list of most influential people, SRK is no stranger to international acclaim. Despite his global fame, his charisma remains as natural as ever. Addressing his fans with his signature wit, he quipped, “It’s very early morning for me. But thank you, DP World and my friend Sultan, for having me here, and thank you all for being here this early.” The session was nothing short of an inspirational masterclass, where SRK shared profound insights into the discipline and resilience that have propelled his superstardom. “The burden of expectation has to be on your shoulders if you want to be a brand,” he emphasized, highlighting the importance of accountability and unwavering hard work. With a chuckle, he added, “Work round the clock, don’t sleep, then come to DP World early morning. I worked so hard today!”
Fans were particularly enchanted when SRK serenaded them with ‘Tujhe Dekha Toh Yeh Jaana Sanam’ from his legendary film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ), a movie that has epitomized romance for generations and holds the record for the longest-running film in Indian cinema history. The nostalgic moment left the audience cheering, as SRK effortlessly recaptured the magic of Raj, the character that catapulted him to global stardom. Next up is Hollywood’s Ryan Reynolds, who will take the stage at 2pm today. Known for his sharp wit and iconic role in Deadpool, Reynolds will discuss ‘Playing for the Big Leagues – From The Movie Theatre to Disrupting Business’, a session expected to draw another full house.
Adding to the star-studded lineup, cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, ‘The Master Blaster’, will grace the stage on Day 3. As a DP World Ambassador and one of the most revered sports figures in history, Tendulkar will share his journey from the cricket pitch to his ventures off-field, inspiring attendees with tales of discipline, legacy, and impact.
