Shah Rukh Khan is one of the most successful actors of recent times. Having been in the industry for over three decades, the actor has ruled over his fans' hearts, and his sheer dedication and hard work have helped him to sustain this long in the industry. Recently, we came across the megastar's strenuous lifestyle, which clearly depicts the story of his discipline and dedication.
Shah Rukh Khan is the epitome of fitness and resilience who, over the years, has put in a lot of effort to be fit and healthy. From having eight-pack abs to performing acrobats for fight sequences, the My Name Is Khan actor has done it all. Now, in an interview with The Guardian, the actor shared that he sleeps for only four or five hours. He usually goes to sleep at 5 am and then wakes up by 9–10 am if he has shoots scheduled. In his words:
"I go to sleep at five in the morning. When Mark Wahlberg gets up, I go off to sleep. And then I wake up about nine or 10 if I'm shooting. But then I will come home at 2 am, take a bath and then work out before I go to sleep."

A few days back, Shah Rukh Khan sat down for an interview with Variety and shared the struggles in his journey. He recalled when his films weren't doing well, and one of his most ambitious films, Zero, flopped at the box office. Shah Rukh's dedication to the film, including a song with Salman Khan and active promotion and everything else failed to earn results.

In the same interview, Shah Rukh shared that it was a difficult phase for him. He was visibly emotional as he recalled that he was supposed to begin shooting for another film a month after Zero's release but he backed out. As per the speculations at that time, he possibly referred to the film, Saare Jahan Se Achha. It was supposed to be a biopic of Rakesh Sharma, the first Indian man to enter space. Shah Rukh was quoted as saying:
"I called the producer and I said to him that I don't want to work for a year. He said, 'It's not possible. You don't sit without working for even a minute. So if you don't like the film, say no, don't say you're not working for a year'. And a year and a half later, he did call and he said, 'I was really surprised you actually are not working.' So I just didn't want to work. I just didn't want to act. I didn't feel like acting. Because for me, acting is genuinely very, very organic."
On the work front, after a long break since 2019, Shah Rukh made a stellar comeback in 2023 with Pathaan, Jawaan, and Dunki. The films were a success at the box office. He will next be seen in Sujoy Ghosh's King.
