In the midst of the crisis, an old video of Shah Rukh Khan criticising war has gone viral, and for all the right reasons.
More than two weeks ago, Russia invaded Ukraine, igniting Europe’s worst conflict and humanitarian crisis in decades. Airstrikes have murdered thousands of innocent civilians, causing millions more Ukrainians to abandon their homes.
SRK speaks about the ‘sadness, loneliness, and futility of war in the video, saying, “Only the dead have seen the end of the war. Nobody knows when a war is going to end. It only ends for the guys who have died. So there is a lot of futility in war.”

He added, ”There is a lot of sadness in war. There’s a lot of loneliness in war. And whatever the reasons anyone gives for it, good, bad, ugly, revenge, nice strong, need of the hour – the fact is that war is not nice. War is not an alternative to peace and goodness. War is not an alternative to love, discussion, talks or even tiffs. War is not something that anyone should go in for.”
Here’s the video which went viral:
