The ‘Baadshah of Bollywood’ Shah Rukh Khan, at the launch of Gunjan Jain’s book titled Shah Rukh, read out from a letter he had written to Gunjan where he had called himself a struggling writer who hadn’t taken up his calling seriously. As a highlight, he also read out a poem he had penned, keeping the girls from all around the world and his daughter in mind. He also stated that the poem’s lines were inspired by a quote made by pop star Zayn Malik. Here’s Shah Rukh’s poem for you:
“This is for girls who stay up all night, this is for you who is willing to fight.
For hidden fears, hurt, pain and tears, under the smiles, laughs, and giggles we hear.
Let your hair down, straight or curls, you’re beautiful because you fight like a girl.
For girls who wear short skirts, and their heart on their sleeve, for girls who know how difficult it is to believe.
The girls who scream and cry to the pillows and tell them their goals, for girls who have a secret, but can’t tell a soul.
Let your eyes be your diamonds, make them your pearls, you’re beautiful because you fight like a girl.
For girls who have made mistakes and have regrets galore, for girls that may not win, but always get up from the floor.
The girls who take life as comes, the girl who have broken the code, for the girls who hope, that they’ll get better somewhere down the road.
Let your steps be a dance and jump and do the swirl, you’re beautiful because you fight like a girl.
For the girls who love with all their heart, although sometimes gets broke, to girls who think it’s over, to real girls, all girls, who have tears to soak.
You throw, you pick up and fall. But just tell the world I’m beautiful because I fight like a girl.”
