When Shah Rukh Khan revealed he has not seen many of his movies
Mumbai, June 13
Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan has been entertaining movie buffs with his charming screen presence and unmatched acting skills for years now.
But did you know that King Khan has not watched some of his own movies? Yes, that is correct. Shah Rukh once confessed during his appearance on filmmaker Sajid Khan's show "Yaaron Ki Baraat" that he is yet to watch some of his most beloved movies such as "Deewana", "Swades", and "Pardes".
When actor Riteish Deshmukh asked SRK if there is any movie of his that has already been released, but he has not watched it till now, Shah Rukh revealed that there are many such movies of his like this.
"It is done now. People liked it. I have watched it in parts while dubbing, or during the edit, but I have never watched these movies of mine, neither in the hall nor in my house," he was heard saying.
Explaining the reason behind the mindset, "I know what the process behind making these films was, and that people have enjoyed it and also praised it. I feel it is a daredevilry to watch your own movie."
Up next, Shah Rukh will be returning to the screen with Siddharth Anand-led "King".
Back in January, the makers confirmed that "King" will reach the cinema halls on December 24 this year.
In the announcement video, we see a bold title 'ROAR' set against a dramatic backdrop. Next comes an impactful line, "This Christmas, fear wears the crown," hinting at the film's larger-than-life scale.
On Shah Rukh's 60th birthday in November 2025, the makers of "King" revealed the title video featuring SRK as a ruthless mercenary who has even lost count of how many people he has killed.
The project further marks SRK's primary on-screen collaboration with his daughter Suhana Khan.

Honestly, I can relate! I also avoid watching photos or videos of myself. It's like you're seeing a version of you that doesn't feel real. But SRK saying he hasn't watched 'Swades' is breaking my heart—that movie was a masterpiece! He should watch it just to see how much we all loved it. 🥺
"Daredevilry to watch your own movie" — what a line! I think his point is valid though. The magic for the audience is different from the grind of making it. But not watching 'Deewana'? That was his debut! At least see it once for nostalgia, SRK bhai. 😄
It's smart honestly. As a creative professional, I get it. When you're too close to the work, it's hard to see it objectively. SRK's never been one to bask in his own glory—that's why he keeps reinventing himself. Respect.
But baat toh sahi hai na? SRK has entertained us for 30+ years with so many iconic roles. Whether he watches them or not doesn't change how we feel. Also, 'King' with Suhana will be epic—December 24 can't come soon enough! Christmas with SRK is the best gift. 🎄🎬
