When Shah Rukh talked about his regret of not telling his parents about his love for them

Talking about the same, the actor revealed that he didn't express his love to his parents enough when they were alive, and that is the biggest regret of his life. Elaborating more about it, Shah Rukh mentioned:

Once for the promotions of the her film, Hichki, Rani Mukerji had asked her friends from the industry to share the hiccups they had faced in life. And her dearest friend, Shah Rukh Khan, was among the first few to talk about the same. Elaborating more about it, King Khan had remarked:

"My greatest ‘Hichki moment’ is the death of my parents. I was 15 when my father passed away and 26 when my mother passed away. It was very sad for us. The empty house without my parents used to come to bite us (my sister and me). The loneliness, pain and sadness of the loss of both my parents, could have been overwhelming enough to take over my life wholly. I decided to overcome this Hichki moment by letting acting fill up my entire life."
