While delivering the powerful speech, Shah Rukh Khan said, "My humble tribute to the innocent people who lost their lives in the 26/11 terrorist attack, the Pahalgam terrorist attack, and the recent Delhi blasts and my respectful salute to our brave security personnel who were martyred in these
attacks."
He also shared a few lines for the courageous soldiers, saying, "Today, I have been asked to recite these four beautiful lines for the brave soldiers and jawans of the country...When someone asks you what you do, say with pride that I protect the country. If someone asks you how much you earn, smile slightly and say, I earn the blessings of 1.4 billion people. And if they turn around and ask you again, Aren't you ever afraid? Look them in the eye and say, those who attack us feel it...Let us all take steps towards peace together. Let us forget the caste, creed, and discrimination around us and walk the path of humanity so that the martyrdom of our heroes for the peace of our country is not in vain..."
Shah Rukh Khan concluded his speech by saying, "If we have peace amongst us, nothing can shake India, nothing can defeat India and nothing can break the spirit of us Indians."
