Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan is known as the Baadshah of Bollywood for a reason. He still has a huge fan following and people go crazy when they see him or get a chance to meet him. But before he accumulated all of this fame and glory, SRK had to face quite a few hurdles. The makers of Rani Mukerji starrer 'Hichki' have recently asked Bollywood celebrities to share their greatest 'Hichki' that they had to face in life. Talking about the same, SRK revealed how the death of his parents at such a young age had left him totally devastated.

“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. We were not financially well off, and I was studying for my Masters degree then. 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 revealed.

“I never quite let go of the pain, but I also used it to make me completely focus on my profession. People close to me will tell you that acting is my vent, my window of manifesting these overwhelming emotions. 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. God might bring a hiccup to you in this life but he will also give you multiple ways to deal with it in this lifetime. I could find my family (the love and sense of belonging) amongst my friends and colleagues in the film industry again,” he added. Stay tuned for more updates.
