In a rare moment of candid humour, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan recently made a light-hearted joke about the commercial failure of his 2018 film, 'Zero'. The actor's self-deprecating comment came during a public event, where he advised a student to not become a "zero" like him, drawing laughs from the audience.

The Viral Comment and Its Context

The comment, which quickly went viral, was a classic example of Shah Rukh Khan's witty and charming personality. While speaking to a student who confessed to being a big fan, the actor said, "Life mein ullu bana lena, lekin meri tarah zero mat banana" which translates to "Make a fool of someone in life, but don't become a zero like me." The remark was a direct reference to the box-office performance of his film, in which he played the role of a vertically challenged man named Bauua Singh.

The comment created a buzz on social media, with fans and critics praising the superstar's humility and ability to laugh at his own professional setbacks. Many saw it as a sign of his self-awareness and grace, traits that have endeared him to millions over the years.

The Legacy of 'Zero'

Directed by Aanand L. Rai, 'Zero' was a highly anticipated film that failed to meet commercial and critical expectations. Despite a grand scale and a star-studded cast that included Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif, the film's complex narrative and execution were widely criticized. The film's box office performance was a major setback for Shah Rukh Khan, who took a break from acting for nearly four years before making a historic comeback with 'Pathaan'.

Shah Rukh Khan's Humility and Comeback

Shah Rukh Khan's ability to openly address the failure of 'Zero' highlights his unique approach to stardom. Unlike many of his peers, he has consistently been transparent about his professional journey, embracing both the highs and the lows. This self-deprecating humor and resilience are believed to be key factors behind his successful resurgence in Bollywood.

Following 'Pathaan', Shah Rukh Khan continued his winning streak with 'Jawan' and 'Dunki', cementing his position as one of the biggest stars in the Indian film industry. His recent success has been a testament to his enduring appeal and his willingness to experiment with different roles, even if some of them don't always pay off.

The 'Zero' comment serves as a reminder that even the biggest stars are not immune to failure, but it's their ability to bounce back with grace and humor that truly defines their legacy.
