Shah Rukh Khan on Saturday paid tribute to the victims of terror attacks, and the security personnel who continue to bravely defend the country. Speaking at the Global Peace Honours 2025, SRK remembered the people who lost their lives in 26/11 Mumbai attacks in 2008, the Pahalgam terror attack in April this year and the recent blast near Red Fort in Delhi.

Talking about the resilience shown by security forces, he said, “No one has been able to stop us, defeat us or snatch our peace away because as long as this country’s superheroes, the men in uniform are guarding us, peace and security will always stay in our land. I want to salute the mothers who gave birth to such brave sons. I salute the spirit of their fathers; I salute their partners. Even though the soldiers were on the battlefield, you also fought that battle with immense bravery.”

Dedicating a few lines to the country’s soldiers, SRK in his deep timbre voiced, “ Jab koi pooche tumse kya karte ho, seena thok ke kehna, desh ki raksha karta hoon. Pooche agar ke kitna kama lete ho, halke se muskurakar kehna ki 140 crore logon ki duayaein kama leta hoon. Aur agar mud ke pooche tumse ke kabhi darr nahi lagta, toh aankh se aankh mila ke kehna... ke jo hum pe hamla karte hain, unko lagta hai.”
