When Shah Rukh Khan Taught a Billionaire a Million-Dollar Lesson

Entrepreneur Viraj Bahl, known for his success with Veeba and his stint on Shark Tank India, recently shared an unforgettable experience working with Shah Rukh Khan. During a commercial shoot, Bahl witnessed firsthand the humility and kindness that define the Bollywood superstar beyond the silver screen.  

 

Despite his towering fame, Khan took the time to learn the names of crew members, personally greeted everyone, and ensured that no one felt overlooked. But the moment that truly left a lasting impression came when the shoot ran over its scheduled time. While most brand ambassadors adhere strictly to their allotted hours, Khan, without hesitation, agreed to continue filming when Bahl approached him with concerns about unfinished shots.  

 

That simple yet profound gesture taught Bahl a lesson in leadership—true greatness lies not just in talent but in how one treats others. He walked away from the experience determined to emulate Khan’s grace and respect in his own professional journey.
