Analysts started writing my death knells,” said the actor.He presumably spoke about Aryan Khan's arrest and added, “On a personal level, a bit of bothersome and unpleasant things also happened to say the least, which made me learn a lesson.

When you think everything is good, suddenly out of nowhere, life will come and hit you.” He continued, “But this is the time when you need to be the hopeful, honest storyteller.”After accepting the award, the emotional SRK said, “I’d like to say something brash, I have kept my speech written because it is checked three to four times so that I don’t say something stupid and wrong, and I get picked on for it. But I still would like to say this, which is very, very brash,”He added, “I don’t just feel like the Indian of the Year, I feel, I’ve been the Indian of all the years gone by and I will be the Indian for the all the years to come. I am actually, ladies and gentlemen, the Indian for all ages.”
