Ekta Tiwari Reflects on Shah Rukh Khan’s Influence and the 2009 Star Plus Logo Change

Ekta Tiwari, renowned for her memorable roles on Indian television, recently shared an inspiring moment from her career involving none other than Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan (SRK). This fond memory traces back to 2009, during the Star Plus rebranding event, when the channel’s logo changed from the classic white and blue to a striking gold and red. Ekta, then a leading star on Tere Mere Sapne, recalls SRK’s captivating presence and his unexpectedly childlike reaction.

As the new logo made its way onto the stage through aerial wires, Ekta watched SRK observing it with a sense of innocent wonder. “He looked at the new logo like a little child,” Ekta reminisces. “There was such purity in his gaze, as if he were marveling at something for the first time.” This small but meaningful interaction left a lasting impact on Ekta, underscoring SRK’s humble and sincere nature, even at the height of his fame.

Beyond this memory, SRK’s success story continues to inspire her. She often recalls his famous quote: “Success is not a destination, it’s a journey. And the most important thing is to enjoy the journey and to be happy.” These words hold deep significance for Ekta, who credits SRK’s philosophy of perseverance and passion as a guiding force in her own career.

Ekta admits that SRK’s iconic dialogues often find their way into conversations on set, providing laughter and inspiration. Like countless others, she finds herself captivated by SRK’s magnetic charm and unrelenting dedication, qualities that have cemented his legacy not only as an actor but as a global cultural icon.
