Amid the shellings, destruction and horrors of the Russia-Ukraine war, an old video of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is going viral on the internet in which he can be seen talking about the futility of the war. The actor claims "War is not an alternative to peace and goodness" and how only the people who die see the end of it. SRK has always been an advocate of peace and cultural harmony. He frequently speaks about how people should be more giving and caring towards each other.
In the viral video, Shah Rukh Khan said, "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.... And whatever the reasons everyone gives for it- good, bad, ugly, revenge, nice, strong, need of the hour, the fact is war is not nice" He further stated that war is not an alternative to peace, goodness, discussion and talks and "definitely not an alternative to love." He said, "War is not something anyone should go in for."
