Shah Rukh Khan once told a story about going to the Ajmer Sharif Dargah with his mom when he was a kid. His mom gave him 5,000 rupees that she needed for her medical care and asked him to keep it safe. He was carrying a special cloth inside the shrine and the money got lost somehow.
He looked everywhere for it but couldn’t find it. Feeling really sad he met a fakir there. The holy man asked if he had lost something and when Shah Rukh Khan said yes the fakir told him he lost 5,000 rupees but he gained a blessing instead. He didn’t explain what the blessing was exactly but it seemed like it was a big deal for him.
This story is just one personal story he has shared to show how important spirituality is to him and a moment that changed how he thinks about loss. It shows a bit about his life and many people see it as an example of his humility. He’s told it publicly but never gave a specific date when it happened.
