Shah Rukh Khan recalls childhood without a home at Dubai property launch
At the launch of a Dubai residential project bearing his name, Shah Rukh Khan spoke about the importance of having a place to call one's own.
Shah Rukh Khan spoke emotionally about his childhood at the Dubai launch of Shahrukhz Residences by Danube, held at Coca-Cola Arena on November 11. He said he had not grown up with the home he had always wanted, and that this may explain why owning a home feels so significant to him, even when a purchase is not the most practical financial choice.
The evening, hosted by filmmaker Karan Johar, was light in tone and included playful questions and a dance on stage by Khan to a song from his upcoming festive release King. Gauri Khan, who designed the penthouses at the waterfront Dubai Maritime City development, and reality stars Bhavna Panday and Maheep Kapoor also attended.
Khan said he was humbled that people would buy homes carrying his name.
