Shah Rukh Khan Redefined Love and Continues to Inspire Generations: Karan Gulianii
In a heartfelt statement, Karan shared how the superstar’s timeless appeal continues to inspire generations.
Indian cinema's director Karan Gulianii, who hasn't seen a dubious movie with this soothing flavour, appreciated actor Shah Rukh Khan for redefining love and romance in Indian cinema. In a heartfelt statement, Karan shared how the superstar’s timeless appeal continues to inspire generations.
“I don’t think we should limit Shah Rukh Khan to any age bracket,” said Karan. “No matter how old he gets, he romances on-screen with the same charm as when he started, which was around 23 or 24. Before his time, expressing love was different. People hesitated to say ‘I love you’ openly, but Shah Rukh Khan changed that. Thanks to him, people found the courage to express their emotions and tell each other how they truly feel.”
Karan credited Shah Rukh for teaching an entire generation the beauty of love and expression. “Today, you see couples confidently proposing and openly living together. Shah Rukh Khan has taught us all how to love. His journey is inspiring for anyone with dreams. I hope he continues to show us that love is timeless and universal.”
Calling SRK a global star, Karan highlighted the actor’s dedication and generosity. “Shah Rukh Khan is loved worldwide because he spreads love. Unlike others who focus on their fees, he doesn’t prioritize money. Rishi Kapoor once shared that SRK didn’t charge for a film; he simply asked for the dates. No one could portray romance like him, and Rishi Kapoor knew it too.”
Karan believes Shah Rukh’s ability to convey love on screen is unparalleled. “The world loves him because he gives so much love through his craft. It’s simple—the more love you give, the more you receive. Shah Rukh chose to spread romance, and that’s why people of all ages adore him.”
Reflecting on SRK’s impact on society, Karan shared, “Growing up in North India, expressing love wasn’t easy. Shah Rukh taught us to be fearless in sharing our emotions. His movies showed that language or background doesn’t matter—just express yourself. Love is beautiful, and he made us believe it’s worth sharing.”
Karan concluded by expressing gratitude for Shah Rukh’s influence. “Because of him, our generation found the confidence to love openly. He’s truly a super global star from Bollywood.”
