Through his work, SRK has traveled all over the world, but do you know, for a long time in his life he didn't visit Kashmir, because of a promise to his dad?

While talking to Amitabh Bachchan during a Kaun Banega Crorepati episode in 2012, Shah Rukh Khan shared that his grandmother was Kashmiri and his father had once told him that you must visit Istanbul, Italy, Rome, and Kashmir once in life. He also added that you may visit all the places without him but don't go to Kashmir without him.

SRK further shared that his father passed away 'very early' and after that, he has been all over the world but never visited Kashmir despite getting several opportunities only because of his word with his father. However, when Yash Chopra asked him that they'd be shooting for Jab Tak Hai Jaan in Kashmir then he thought that since his father was no more, it'd be best to visit there with the legendary filmmaker.

The superstar also shared his experience of visiting Kashmir for the first time and said that he felt inner happiness, "Main Gulmarg se helicopter mein oopar jaa raha tha. Aur pehli baar, bahut saalon baad, mujhe ek ajeeb se roohani khushi mili" (I was going through helicopter from Gulmarg and after a long time, I felt inner happiness). he said.

After taking the Indian box office by storm in 2023 with Pathaan, Jawan, and Dunki, Shah Rukh Khan is gearing up for his next film, King, which will feature him alongside his daughter Suhana Khan. Sujoy Ghosh will direct the action thriller, and Siddharth Anand will serve as a co-producer.
