Actor and professional wrestler John Cena has expressed how Shah Rukh Khan has impacted his life. John, who recently visited India to attend Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding, also described his experience of meeting the superstar and stated that he was “starstruck” and “emotional.”
In an interview with ANI, John mentioned how SRK’s Ted Talk inspired him. “He (Shah Rukh) did a Ted Talk that found me at the right time in my life and his words were beyond inspirational for me. They helped orchestrate a change in my life. And since that change, I have been able to recognise all the jackpots that I have been given. I have been grateful and working hard to make sure I don’t waste them.”
Talking about his recent meeting with SRK, John said, “It was such an emotional moment to be able to shake a person’s hand that affects your life so drastically and tell them specifically what they did.”
“He was amazing. He couldn't have been more empathetic and kind and sharing. It really was wonderful. I was awestruck,” he added.
Earlier too John has expressed his admiration for Shah Rukh. After attending Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding, the wrestler took to his X handle to share his experience.
“A surreal 24 hours. So grateful for the Ambani family for their unmatched warmth and hospitality. An experience filled with so many unforgettable moments which allowed me to connect with countless new friends, including meeting @iamsrk and being able to tell him personally the positive effect he has had on my life,” he wrote.
In February too, the wrestler-turned-actor expressed his love for the star. In a viral video, John could be seen singing ‘Bholi Si Surat’, a song from Shah Rukh Khan’s Dil Toh Pagal Hai (1997).
SRK also reacted to the video and wrote, “Thank you both… Love and love you @JohnCena. I’m gonna send you my latest songs and I want a duet from the two of you (John Cena and Gurv Sihra) again!!! Ha ha.”
