Kashmir is not just a land of natural beauty; it is a place deeply etched in Shah Rukh’s heart. He has had numerous opportunities to visit this paradise, yet he has never actually gone. His father’s words echoed in his mind: “Don’t go to Kashmir alone, I will take you.” These words left a profound imprint on Shah Rukh’s soul. His grandmother was Kashmiri by birth, and his father’s memories were intertwined with the alleys and landscapes of this land, which held a special place in his life.
In 2012, Shah Rukh set foot in Kashmir for the first time while shooting for Yash Chopra’s film Jab Tak Hai Jaan. This journey was a testament to his love and respect for his father. “Yashji is like my father, so I agreed to the project,” he said. The feelings he experienced then were as if he was walking along paths imbued with his father’s memories, each step filled with deep emotion.
However, alongside this emotional attachment, Kashmir’s current situation fills him with profound sorrow. Following the brutal incident in Pahalgam, Shah Rukh expressed his grief on social media: “There are no words to express the horror of what happened in Pahalgam. My deepest condolences to the affected families. Let us stand united against this heinous crime and seek justice.”
Shah Rukh’s love for Kashmir is not merely about films or shooting locations. It is a part of his heart a symbol of love. When the peace and beauty of this land are overshadowed by violence and brutality, his pain becomes even more intense. Through these feelings, it is clear how Kashmir’s charm touches his soul, and its suffering deeply moves him.
