Shah Rukh engages in philanthropy through his charitable organisation, Meer Foundation, which derives its name from his late father Meer Taj Mohammed Khan. With the establishment, Shah Rukh aims for an effective change at the ground level through extensive work. He founded the Meer Foundation in October 2013. It primarily functions to empower women.
The superstar lost his father at a young age. His mother passed away almost a decade later. Recently, a video went viral in which Shah Rukh can be heard revealing the reason behind not visiting Kashmir and it has a connection with his father.
He said, "My father's mother was Kashmiri. To unhone mujhe bola tha zindagi mein bola tha mujhe teen jagah zaroor dekhna life mein, main rahun ya naa rahun. Ek Istanbul zaroor dekhna, ek Italy zaroor dekhna aur ek Kashmir hai zaroor dekhna. Lekin baaki do mere bina bhi dekh lena par Kashmir mere bina mat dekhna. So he died very early. I have been all over the world par main Kashmir kabhi nahi gaya. Bahut saare mauke bhi mile, Doston ne bahut bulaya, my family has been to vacation lekin main Kashmir kabhi nahi gaya. Kyunki mere father ne kaha tha Kashmir mere bina mat dekhna, Kashmir main dikhaaunga."
Workwise, Shah Rukh's Jawan is ruling the box office globally. The film entered the coveted 500-crore club in India. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted on Wednesday, "#Jawan begins its momentous journey towards â¹ 500 cr⦠PHENOMENAL TRENDING on weekdays⦠Gets that extra push due to #Ganeshotsav [partial holiday] on [second] Tue⦠[Week 2] Fri 18.10 cr, Sat 30.10 cr, Sun 34.26 cr, Mon 14.25 cr, Tue 12.90 cr.
