Shah Rukh Khan is currently making headlines regarding his upcoming film, *King*. This film is expected to feature a star-studded cast including Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Jaideep Ahlawat, Arshad Warsi, and Abhay Verma. Furthermore, his previous releases—*Pathaan* and *Jawan*—performed exceptionally well at the box office. Did you know that he consulted a *Pandit* (spiritual advisor) for this success?
Entertainment Desk, New Delhi. Shah Rukh Khan is often referred to as the “Badshah of Bollywood.” The actor has delivered numerous blockbuster films throughout his career. Currently, Shah Rukh is the subject of much discussion due to his upcoming film, *King*. Through this film, his daughter, Suhana Khan, is also set to make her big-screen debut alongside him. However, did you know that between 2017 and 2018, none of Shah Rukh Khan’s films managed to perform well at the box office? His films *Jab Harry Met Sejal* and *Zero* were consecutive failures. Following this setback, Shah Rukh decided to step back for a while and take a hiatus from acting.
Subsequently, the COVID-19 pandemic struck, causing his break to extend for five years. However, when he finally made his comeback, he appeared stronger than ever before. His films *Pathaan* and *Jawan* collectively grossed over ₹2,000 crore worldwide—a feat that Shah Rukh truly proved he could achieve.
In a conversation with *Screen*, Anand Pandit stated: “Shah Rukh and I met during his transitional phase. We gradually grew close, and I began to guide him. I started introducing him to the principles of *Vastu* and its energies.” “We made certain changes to his home to attract positive energy, and I am delighted that it proved effective for him.” He further revealed that the actor had sought his counsel prior to *Pathaan* and *Jawan* as well.
In 2023, a video from Pandit Ji’s birthday went viral, in which Shah Rukh Khan was seen cracking a joke. Speaking about Pandit Ji, the actor remarked, “He is my spiritual guru. Whenever one of my films flops, I call him over to fix my house. He simply moves a mirror from one spot to another, and—the next thing you know—my films start becoming hits.”
