Former Indian cricketer Sourav Ganguly recently attended an event where he couldn’t stop praising Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan. Reflecting on their younger days, Ganguly spoke highly of Khan’s determination, which has propelled him to the top of the film industry.
Sourav Ganguly Talks About Shah Rukh Khan’s Hardwork That Led To His Success
At the event, Ganguly shared a nostalgic memory from the mid-2000s. “I remember one afternoon, during the early days of white ball cricket, we were at Eden Gardens. It was raining, and the match hadn’t started. We were in the dressing room when a colleague asked Shah Rukh how he became so successful,” Ganguly recalled.
“Shah Rukh said he came to Bombay with nothing. He had no money and no connections in the film industry. He was just an individual with a dream.”
Ganguly continued, sharing Khan’s words: “He said, ‘I was not as good-looking as some, nor was I a great dancer. But every morning, I stood in front of the mirror and told myself that I would be the best with whatever I had. I knew my skills, and I worked hard. I wasn’t the most handsome or muscular, but I aimed to be the best actor. Over time, my acting skills would overshadow everything else.'”
This determination, Ganguly noted, has been key to Shah Rukh Khan’s success. “He became one of the most popular and successful actors over the years,” Ganguly said.

Nana Patekar Also Praised SRK Recently
In an interview with Lallantop, veteran actor Nana Patekar also praised Khan’s humility. “Shah Rukh Khan bahot pyaar se milta hai. Baakiyon ka pata nahi, jab bhi milta hai acche se milta hai. Woh itna accha hai. Matlab woh mujhse itna pyaar se milta hai, matlab aaj bhi mujhe bahot accha lagta hai. Woh bahot accha baccha hai. Log bhool jaate hain magar woh bhoola nahi. Aise milta hai jaise kal hi mile ho. Mujhe abhi woh International Film Festival mein mila Goa mein aur woh aise milta hai jaise barso baad mila hai. (Shah Rukh Khan meets everyone with so much love. I don’t know about others, but whenever we meet, he is always very warm. He is such a good person. He never forgets anyone and meets you as if it was just yesterday,” Patekar shared. “We met recently at the International Film Festival in Goa, and he greeted me like an old friend.)”
