Shahrukh Khan Doctorate Degree: “Urdu Is The Most Expressive Language”
He encouraged young students to listen to their heart and do what they like, to avoid regrets about career choice later in life. He said,”No matter if you are not good enough for the character, but if you have ever conceptualised it, you must give it a go. When you become a person of my age or your parents’ age or your teachers’ age, somewhere that regret will be there that why didn’t I do that (as a career). I just want to tell every boy and girl that do where your heart is”.

He said,”I am a bad poet. But, I still write something…When I write, I get peace,”.
The actor recalled that his (late) father, though financially not so well, taught him various things in life. “He gifted me a chess board, and I used to play it with the head priest of a Hanuman temple, the game taught me how to work with others and that one has to step back, sometimes, to move ahead in life, that you have to equally respect the pawns and queens and sacrifice them when needed.

“My father gave me a typewriter and said you have to be very diligent in typing. When I learnt to type, I realised that practice makes you perfect. Whatever you do in life, do it with diligence as if it is the last chance to do it,” he said.
