Shah Rukh Khan Calls Himself Semi-orphan, Talks About Being An ‘Outsider’ In Film Industry: ‘I’m A King’
Shah Rukh Khan’s video posted by Disney Studio India is going viral, which shows him calling himself an outsider and a semi-orphan. The interaction took place for promotion about his upcoming film Mufasa: The Lion King. SRK is set to voice the Hindi dub of the lead character Mufasa. Meanwhile, his sons will be playing the roles of Mufasa’s kids.
In the clip, Shah Rukh can be heard saying, “If I was to not be humble and say, ‘Hann meri hi kahaani aisi hai’ (My story is also like this)’ then it could fit in. Technically speaking, anyone who doesn’t have parents is an orphan. I did lose my parents nearly in youth, so I’m a semi-orphan.”
He added, “It’s the story of an outsider. No family of mine has been in the business of filmmaking. I came from Delhi to Mumbai, so main outsider bhi hoon (I’m an outsider as well). It’s the story of the King. So, yeah, I’m a king.”

I thought, ‘What a nice person, what a great character. Kitna accha human being sher hai (what a nice human being lion)’.”
On the other hand, SRK’s son Aryan Khan will be heard dubbing for Simba and AbRam will also be voicing young Mufasa. The superstar also talked about dubbing with his sons and added, “Mufasa has an incredible legacy and stands as the ultimate king of the jungle, imparting his wisdom to his son, Simba. I deeply relate to him as a father and also resonate with Mufasa’s journey in the film.”
