There's a reason why Shah Rukh Khan is called the king of hearts. The actor recently penned down a long note of encouragement to help people deal with this crisis. A part of his note read: "This is a moment for all of us to come together in a collective effort to make each other kinder, stronger and braver to face the days ahead. This crisis is not going to pass in a hurry, it will take its time and its toll on us. It will allow us that there isn't really a choice between looking out for ourselves and looking out for one another. There's nothing more obvious in the spread of this pandemic than the fact that each one of us is inextricably connected to each other, without any distinction."

On the work front, Shah Rukh Khan was last seen in Zero.
