Films are nothing but stories, experiences and ideologies that connect people around the world, irrespective of the language and country they belong to, said Bollywood superstar Superstar Shah Rukh Khan while inaugurating the IFFI (International Film Festival of India) on Monday.
“There is a word in Sanskrit – Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, means bringing the world together like a family. Stories and movies connect people. I believe no matter what your language and ideologies are, no matter what country your story comes from, storytelling and movie viewing should be a familial experience that binds us all together, makes relationships stronger even in the face of dissent and discussion as it happens in a family, instead of tearing us apart,” Shah Rukh said at the opening ceremony.
He said India is the birthplace of stories, history, mythology and legends, and that these stories give people and hope and inspiration. The 52-year-old star said films bring people together through the shared love for stories.
“An idea becomes a film that we all watch. The magic of storytelling has the power to touch all our senses, and in doing so, actually binding us together,” the DDLJ actor said during his charismatic speech.
