Reflecting on his experience in Locarno, Shah Rukh humorously compared the crowd’s energy to the hustle and bustle of India. “So many people stuffed up in a little square and so hot, it’s just like being home in India. So thank you so much for having me here. It’s been a wonderful last two evenings,” he shared. The audience was further entertained when a fan shouted “I love you” from the crowd, to which he responded, “I love you also. All dramatics continues after the serious speech. It’s the Locarno Film Festival, we all need to sound intellectual, ok?”
Shah Rukh Khan closed his speech on a heartfelt note, blending humour with humility. He joked about his improving Italian and cooking skills, and then switched to Hindi to convey his deep gratitude. “I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart and from India. Namashkaar and dhanyawaad (Hello, thank you). God bless you all,” he concluded, leaving the audience captivated by his grace and charisma.
