Kangana wrote, "From being the ultimate lover boy of the nineties to a decade-long struggle again to reinvent his connection with his audience to his late forties to mid-fifties and ultimately rising as the quintessential Indian mass superhero at the age of 60 (almost) is nothing short of superheroic even in real life."
She continued by emphasising the significance of Shah Rukh Khan's journey as an inspiration for artistes with enduring careers who must constantly reinvent themselves. Kangana Ranaut highlighted that SRK is not just adored for his charm and charisma but is a cinematic icon that Indian cinema needs, by applauding his perseverance, hard work and humility.
