Shah Rukh Khan is one of the film industry's most successful and loved actors. His fame is bound not only in India but also internationally. At the IIFA Awards 2024, SRK was the host along with Vicky Kaushal and Karan Johar. During a fun segment of the event, KJo questioned King Khan about his retirement plans, and SRK’s response once again won people's hearts. 

Shah Rukh Khan on his retirement plans

When Karan Johar asked SRK about his retirement plans, the Jawan actor said that the biggest quality about the legends is that they know when to stop and when to retire. "Like the great Sachin Tendulkar, Sunil Chhetri the footballer, and Roger Federer, the great tennis player. They all know when to retire and now I think it’s time you (Karan) do too," he said. 

Then the filmmaker quipped, “By that standard, aap kyun nahi retire hote? (Why don’t you retire?). To this, SRK replied, “I am a different kind of legendary. I am like MS Dhoni. Na na karke bhi 10 bar IPL khel jaate hai (Even after saying no, he ends up playing 10 seasons of IPL).”

SRK's co-host Vicky praised the legacy of Shah Rukh Khan and said, “Retirement is for legends, kings are forever.”

Meanwhile, Shah Rukh won the Best Actor award for Jawan. Before accepting the award from director Mani Ratnam, he respectfully touched his feet.
