In the said video, Saqib shared, “SRK completes 30 years in the industry. I was watching his videos online. I realised how important Shah Rukh sir's story is. A Delhi boy comes to Mumbai, where he knows no one. He worked hard, persevered and achieved so much that today he's known as King Khan. This is what I want. This is what inspired me, a Delhi boy. Thank you sir.”

He added, “You taught me to dream. You conveyed that 'agar puri shiddat se kisi cheez ke picche lag jao, toh puri kaaynaat lag jaati hain ussko apna banane ke liye'. Thank you sir you've given hope to an entire generation. Sending you love today, tomorrow and every day of your life. I'll end this video with your dialogue - 'Abhi picture baqi hain mere dost'."
