His genuine post is quoted below,
“Why @iamsrk is a superstar forever and why I love him.
I’ve interacted with SRK thrice-once on Twitter and on another occasion briefly at a party. The third time is why for me he will always be a true star. I was seeking help for a child who was suffering from a tumour and needed urgent financial support for life-saving surgery. I tweeted about this around midnight and then slept as I was shooting early mornings in Haryana. I was on a shoot and I had 3 missed calls from a number I did not recognize, I had a very polite SMS from the number asking me to call back. The message was from SRK.
I called him not knowing why he wanted to speak to me. It was about a child. He said whatever they need will be taken care of. In less than a few. hours the hospital was contacted, funds were transferred. Somebody got a new life. Quietly, gently, without fuss, a life was saved. This happened once again a few months later. Another life was saved. Quietly and without any fuss or publicity. A man idolized by millions and with whom I have almost zero personal or professional connection has a
a permanent place in my little heart because of his big heart and his humanity.
A star is loved for his films, his persona, his charisma but for me, a superstar is somebody who possesses that rare
compassion and unlikely humility when helping somebody in need.
When I thanked him all he said was something like I have a lot and this is the least I can do.
Shahrukh Khan, you are my star. Forever. Happy birthday, SRK.
The tweet of his heartwarming note became viral within a few hours of posting and gained more than 12.6 likes and approximately 3000 retweets.
