At a recent event helmed by Farhan Akhtar, the king of charms, Shah Rukh Khan spoke about his camaraderie with women. He said he was “not ashamed” that he is a “little shy and scared of women.” The 'Jab Harry Met Sejal' actor is known for being respectful to not just his female colleagues, but also his fans. None of the leading ladies over the years have accused him of making them uncomfortable in any way.
The event was initiated by Akhtar's MARD, Population Foundation of India and film director Feroz Abbas Khan. Speaking at 'Lalkaar', a music concert to support the social campaign to eradicate violence against women said women are superior to men and should be treated with equality. He also recited a poem penned by lyricist Javed Akhtar. Talking about the concept of being a “mard”, Khan said, “Since I and Farhan Akhtar, who is the founder of MARD, do not have a moustache, which is also the logo, we are not considered as 'man'! And that is true because we are gentle to women, we treat them with equality because they deserve that.”
“But I believe that women are superior to men in many levels and I am not ashamed of the fact that I am a little shy and scared of women whether she is my mother, wife, sister or friends. Women bring a quietude, a calm energy to the universe. So, any form of violence happening to any woman is the horrible thing can happen.”
