Love. Love people. Love the world around you. Love animals and birds and big cities and mountains. Love dreams. | |
But most importantly, my friends, love yourselves. Let your heart be as deep as the deepest ocean and as wide. | |
As the furthest horizon. Know that it is limitless. It is the only excuse you will ever have to call yourself. | |
Self special. Live now, live today. Because tomorrow we will all be dead. Ladies and gentlemen. | |
Gentlemen, it gives me enormous pleasure to introduce to you Dr. Shah Rukh Khan. | |
Thank you very much. | |
First of all, it's an honor for me to receive this doctorate today, so thank you, everyone who's involved with this. | |
And humbled is a wor. | |
Word often used by people in my profession. You meet actors, they'll give. I'm very humbled. I'm very humble of you all. I dislike. | |
Like the hypocritical, obsequious connotation of it in these contexts. So I'm not going to use it. | |
But I will say that such occasions have a way of putting me right in my place, which is right there. So thank you, everyone, for putting me. | |
In my place. I do get invited to conferences and inaugurations now and then to speak, and when I. | |
I receive the invite, I also receive my brief. It's usually about success and my tips on it. | |
It. Not my toes. Those are covered by. I will never show my toes. | |
Those clause in my contracts. They're very ugly. And it's my attempt at gender equality. | |
My co actresses have no cleavage claws. I have no toes claws. | |
Now, most people believe Bollywood stars aren't insightful about anything other than the fateful occurrences which made them stars in the film. | |
First place, but I've had the odd divergence from being taken for stupid. Though recently I got an email. | |
From an international association of advertising. And they said, Dear Mr. Khan, the advertising community would like you to come and. | |
Address them on globalization and disruptive marketing, and I spent the next four hours on Google trying to. | |
Assimilate the disruptiveness of innovating a product to match its market. | |
But it was one of those rare days when even Google can't help you, a day when you need. | |
You need to leave Google and ask for deliverance from God. But I have. | |
Have a film releasing soon, so I don't want to take extra favors from God before the film release. | |
Jesus. So I chose business over knowledge. I did the next best thing. | |
I sat on my Iohawk. Have you guys seen that segue thing? Yeah. So I went on my Iohawk and who? | |
Told everybody, a gathering like yours, that there is nothing I can tell you that you already don't know. | |
And people, when they're told they're smart, they like it. You're such an august gathering of people and. | |
Blah, blah, blah. Instead, let me entertain you because you all deserve a break. And before the organizers could IM. | |
Interject. I started thrusting my pelvic into their faces and broke out into the one and only intellectual. | |
Thing. I know how to do the lungi dance, so I got away with. | |
With it without being humbled. It always pays to be a better dancer than your advertisers. And what's more, they seem to have a good time. | |
But that was a conference, and this is a doctorate from a prestigious University of Edinburgh. So I'm going to try to. | |
To sound intelligent and insightful, especially for you today. One of the subjects on the list of five, I was sent for my speech. | |
Today was life lessons. So for whatever it is worth, here goes. Let me start at the very, very beginning. | |
Whatever I've learned of life has been at the movies. Actually, the first few films that I did. | |
In my career and titles were given to them, very nearly formulated. Whatever I know of life. | |
And that's how I'm going to pass it on to you. One of the first movies of my career was a movie called Diwana. | |
Must have. Okay, but do you remember the story of the film? | |
I'll remind you the story. So I fall in love with a widow who I. | |
I meet literally by accident in which I very nearly kill her mother in law. Then I marry. | |
Her. Not the mother in law, but the widow. The widow is not keen on the marriage because. | |
She still loves her late husband, but she marries me anyway. My rich, mean father disapproves of the. | |
Unison and does what a rich, mean father does. He tries to kill the widow. | |
And I'm naturally disgusted by his behavior. And after a long two page standoff with him in which I use heavy. | |
Sounding Urdu words, I leave the house for good. Then, for some reason, apart from the fact that I ride my motor, | |
Without holding the handlebar. I have an accident seeing me so focus. | |
Alone and sat in the hospital bed. My ex widow wife falls in love with me. | |
And there is something about absolutely sick men which always attracts women to them. I've noticed this. | |
The sicker the better. Then again, by chance of fate, I rescue a stranger at my. | |
Night from a bunch of goons, and guess what? He turns out to be the original husband of my ex widow. | |
Wife who hadn't died in spite of his inheritance, hungry uncle's best efforts. Now he. | |
Evil uncle then decides to kidnap me and my ex widow. Now not so ex present W. | |
Day wife to get hold of his nephew. I escape his clutches and I come back with. | |
With my wife's undead husband to rescue her. By now, she's, of course, trapped to a bomb. | |
And do you? | |
You think they'll take my doctorate back? | |
Where she's trapped, of course, to a bomb. And after a liberal round of fist fighting, kicking and screaming, the evil uncle is. | |
Is blown to smithereens by the very same bomb that he had strapped on. Status? Confused lady of the film. | |
But not before the sacrificial ex husband had an akamakaze unstrapping his ex wife and set the bomb off, killing him. | |
Himself in the bargain. All obstacles removed, our hero lives happily ever after with his beloved wife. | |
I'm not sure why the movie was called Diwana, which in Hindi means madness of a particular. | |
Really nice or romantic kind. But I have a feeling it had something to do with the guy who wrote the plot. | |
So here's my first life lesson inspired by the movie title Diwana. | |
Madness of the particularly nice or romantic kind is an absolute prerequisite to a happy. | |
And successful life. Don't ever treat your little insanities as if they are aberrations that ought to be hidden from. | |
The rest of the world, acknowledge them and use them to define your own way of living the only life you have. | |
All the most beautiful people in the world, the most creative, the ones who led revolutions, who discover. | |
And invented things did so because they embraced their own idiosyncrasies. | |
There's no such thing as normal. Normal is just another word for lifeless. | |
Soon after I acted in Diwana, I became the hapless hero of a movie called Chamatkar. | |
This movie had a more believable plot line. I get cheated off. | |
All my money by my best friend, Conman, and find myself asleep in a graveyard, only to be. | |
Be awakened by the ghost of a murdered mobster. A ghost that only I can see and nobody else can. | |
I am very perceptive that way. Anyway, the mobster ghost helps me get a job as a teacher through. | |
Through his ghostly good offices. I fall in love with his daughter, of course, from a wife that has passed on. | |
On after being duped by the flunky of the mobster. Together the Ghost and I organize a cricket match. Yes, I was doing that even before. | |
I owned a cricket team and avenge and avenge the. | |
Various misdeeds done to us by bashing up the flunky and the con man, then we forgive them because we have a good heart and let. | |
Each other descend into the respective abodes where we belong in the first place. He goes back to the grave. I. | |
Go away with the babe Now Chamatka means miracle, right and straight. | |
Straightforward without any nuances. So my next lesson is the following. If you find ever find yourself ch. | |
Of all your money and sleeping on a grave. Do not fear, Am. | |
Miracle is near. Either that or a ghost. But all you have to do is fall asleep. | |
Trust me. In other words, no matter how bad it gets, life is the miracle you are searching for. | |
There is no other one around the corner. Develop the faith in it to let it take its own course. Make all the effort. | |
Efforts you can to abide by its beauty, and it will not let you down. Use every resource you have been given. Your med. | |
Mental faculties, the ability of your heart to love and feel for those around you. Your health and good fortune all. | |
Of the thousands of gifts life has given you to their maximum potential. Honor your life, please. | |
Honor each gift and each moment by not laying it to waste. There is no real measure of success. | |
In this world except the ability to make good of life's endowments to you. | |
Sometimes life's gifts arrive wrapped in all wrong damn wrapping. At which point we have to learn to do two things. | |
With them. Recognize them for what they are and gamble on our fear. | |
That they might be disasters. This brings me to my third life lesson, inspired by two movies in which I played the action. | |
Antihero, darren bazikar. | |
Okay. Those stories I won't tell you. You seem to know them, but 20 years ago in the movies. | |
Rules were very clearly defined. They provided the security of your stardom, in a sense. | |
If you'd been successfully playing an angry young man, you'd pretty much be angry and young for the rest of your life. | |
If you've been a police inspector in three movies, odds were you'd be in the next 33 too. |
