I don't get what are people actually trying to prove, SRK had a hard childhood or the luxuries he had during childhood does not matter because he struggled in Bollywood as he was an outsider. Whatever SRK seems to have had a good childhood provided by intelligent and hard working parents who did good enough to allow him to be the man he is today. So why are we trying to make it like SRK had a hard childhood?? When he got luxuries which 80% of the kids of his time could not even dream about.
As for Kjo, woh toh hai hi gadha.
When has he ever stated that his folks didn't do everything possible they could to provide him and his sister the best possible childhood they could. They gave them a wonderful education but to state that his childhood wasn't hard is naive to say the least. He lost his father when he was a teenager and ten years or so after that he lost his mother. He has spoken so many times about how much that all impacted his sister , she suffers from depression and he has stated on record that he probably would have been going through that as well if he didn't work 24/7. This notion that his childhood was hunky dory is preposterous. As for luxuries , please do define luxury. His mother worked darn hard to provide them with the education they got , his father tried his hand at a few things but didn't succeed. Infact at one point if I'm not wrong they had a business that Shahrukh tried to manage after his mother's passing but couldn't as they were in a lot of debt. To sugarcoat things just because he is successful now is to undermine his journey. Were there times where he had fun just like any other person his age did? Sure! But even if he was as rich as some here now are making him out to be , it still wouldn't change the fact that his parent's passing had a huge impact on both his sister and him , just like I think it would on anyone out there. His backstory like I stated earlier has been covered so much that even if he wanted to hide aspects of it , he couldn't.
