Shah Rukh Khan wins hearts with his speech at KIFF 2022

In his speech, Shah Rukh Khan talked about the negativity on social media and emphasized the role of cinema in society. “The collective narratives of our times are shaped by social media. Contrary to the belief that the spread of social media will affect cinema negatively, I believe cinema has an even more important role to play now. Social media is often driven by a certain narrowness of view that limits human nature to its baser self. And it’s somewhere that negativity increases social media consumption and thereby increases its commercial value as well. Such pursuits enclose the collective narrative making it divisive and destructive,” he said.

He said that cinema allows people to know each other better, and added, “In a way, it is best placed to sustain a collective counter-narrative that speaks to the larger nature of human kind- a narrative that brings to the fore humanity’s immense capacity for compassion, unity, and brotherhood.”
