How Shah Rukh Khan Changed A Man's Life Will Double Your Respect For Him

Darpan News Desk IANS, 10 Mar, 2017 12:20 PM

UK-based video game developer Shahid Kamal Ahmad in a series of tweets details how a meeting with Shah Rukh Khan changed his life.

Shahid Kamal Ahmad who is now a known name in the gaming industry explains how the Badshah inspired him to reach the position he's at.

'Six years ago today the one and only @iamsrk treated me to dinner in Langkawi. We worked on a game together. He is a complete gentleman. And not only did we have dinner, afterwards he treated me to a beautiful Cuban cigar bought from the hotel. (He was filming Don 2 there). At that time, I was still a kind of loser, but he showed me that nice guys can be winners. (And his work ethic inspired my life changes).

He showed me just how gracious and decent an extraordinarily gifted and successful man can be. Nice guys don't have to finish last", he wrote in a series of tweets.

When we met in London, he invited me to a private screening of the unreleased “A-Team” in his hotel. He *personally* brought a drink to me.

It wasn’t a put-on. No act. That was the thing. That was just how he was. I realised I had to change from within to match that attitude.

Not many people will get to spend as much time as I did in the company of a legend like SRK, so I feel compelled to report his decency.

Shahid says he was moved to see the actor treat him, 'a nobody', with respect. 'When we met in London, he invited me to a private screening of the unreleased "A-Team" in his hotel. He *personally* brought a drink to me. He showed me the power of service. I was changed. I brought that attitude he showed me in 2011 to all my future dealings with devs', he wrote.

As soon as Shah Rukh saw the tweet thread, he replied back to Ahmad with the same warmth and affection. “@shahidkamal how r u my man. Miss you. U showed respect to taking Indian film stuff into gaming. Thanks. Be well,” he wrote, and went on to say that he’ll come to meet Ahmad the next time he is in London.
