Shahrukh
Khan
says
he
generally
does
not
look
for
moral
lessons
in
a
film
but
believes
the
story
of
The
Lion
King
is
important
because
it
talks
about
the
precious
bond
between
a
parent
and
child.
The
53-year-old
actor,
who
along
with
his
son
Aryan
will
be
voicing
for
King
Mufasa
and
his
son
Simba,
in
the
Hindi
version,
believes
one
remembers
the
teachings
of
one's
parents
only
when
they
are
gone.
"The
story
inheritably
gives
a
lot
of
morals.
I
personally
don't
look
for
morals
in
a
movie
and
enjoy
it
as
pure
entertainment.
It
is
inheritably
entertaining
because
it
does
talk
about
relationships.
Many
times,
when
kids
are
growing
with
their
parents,
they
don't
realise
that
what
their
parents
say
could
actually
come
handy
much
later
on.
"It's
unfortunate
that
you
remember
the
teachings
of
your
parents
when
they
are
not
in
your
life,"
Shah
Rukh
said
in
a
statement
here.
The
actor
believes
it
is
never
a
bad
thing
to
listen
to
one's
parents
as
their
teachings
never
fail
one
in
life.
"Somewhere
down
the
line,
the
story
reflects
that
it's
nicer
to
listen
to
your
parents
and
understand
the
deeper
meaning
of
what
they
are
saying
to
you.
It
does
teach
you
that
Our
parents
always
live
within
us
and
their
teachings
never
go
away.
"Personally,
I
do
feel
the
same,
the
small
things
that
my
father
and
mother
said
actually
define
me
now,
and
I
realise
it
now
and
I
didn't
realise
it
then,"
Shah
Rukh
said.
