When SRK said, ‘Joh kaam nahi karte woh kamaal karte hai’

When Shah Rukh Khan recited his father's wise words, 'Joh kaam nahi karte woh kamaal karte hai'

Shah Rukh Khan, fondly known as the ‘King,’ has been celebrated over the years for his impeccable work of art. Recently, the 60-year-old actor unveiled the bronze statue of the iconic ‘Diwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ pose at Leicester Square in London, along with his co-star, Kajol. While the world goes into a frenxy with just his glimpse, Shah Rukh Khan wholeheartedly believes in a statement given by his father, Meer Taj Mohammed Khan. Not only did the philosophical line change his life, but the imprints continued to his next generation as well. “Joh kaam nahi karte woh kamaal karte hai” became a ray of dazzling hope in his life.

Shah Rukh Khan gives a philosophical line

During a chat with Anupam Kher on his show a decade ago, Shah Rukh Khan came in as a guest, who chronicled his personal life before he went on to become the Badshah of Bollywood. When the host asked about what he expects his son, Aryan Khan, to become when he grows up, Khan recited the line “Joh kaam nahi karte woh kamaal karte hai.” Stating that the line was given by his father, he recalled what he was told. “Hum tumhari umar main, pahaado par nange paair chale jaate the. Aur agar tum chadna chaho toh chad jao, nahi chadna chaho toh kuch mat karo. Kyuki, joh kuch nahi karte woh kamaal karte hai (I used to climb mountains barefoot when I was your age. If you want to climb it, then do it. If you don’t want to, then do not. Because those who do not work, do wonders).” Elsewhere in the interview, Kher asked Khan about what his family expected from him. While the actor claimed that he was encouraged to do sports, his father passed away before they could decide on any niche together.
