Must Read: Shah Rukh Khan's poem on women

"My life has been completely shaped by women, starting from my grandmother to my daughter now and in between my wife, aunts, didis in colonies, my leading ladies and women directors with whom I have worked," the 50-year-old actor at the launch of a book - She Walks, She Leads - by debutante author Gunjan Jain. 

The book profiles 24 women from all walks of life, including Nita Ambani, Chanda Kochhar and Swati Piramal.Shah Rukh also narrated a poem, which he wrote after being inspired by a comment he read of former 'One Direction' band member Zayn Malik.

This is for girls who stay up all night
This is for you who are willing to fight
For hidden fears, hurt, pain, and tears
Under the smiles, laughs, and giggles we hear
Let your hair down, straight or curls
You’re beautiful because you fight like a girl

For girls who wears short skirts and their heart on their sleeve
For girls who know how difficult, It is to believe
The girls who scream and cry, into their pillows and tell them their goals
For girls who have a secret, but can’t tell a soul
Let your eyes be your diamond, make them your pearls
You’re beautiful because you fight like a girl

For girls who have made mistakes and have regrets galore
Because you fight like a girl
For the girls who love with all their heart, although it sometimes gets broke
To who think it’s over, to real girls, to all girls, who have tears to soak 
You throw, you pick up, and fall
But just tell the world, I’m beautiful, because I fight like a girl.
