Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is known for his wit and charm along with his acting skills. The actor has spent and thrived in the industry for a good 25 years and still continues to rule hearts. On the occasion of Eid, the actor got into a candid interview, excerpts of which are stated for you to get to know your favourite star a little better!
Shah Rukh KhanSRK opened up about his journey as an actor in Bollywood, he said, "The one thing that stands out for me in these 25 or 26 years is that it happened very fast. I really feel it's been only two or three years since I've been in Mumbai. I think I've got stuck in time."
He added, "When I speak to my family, and see my children all grown up, so reality is there for me to see, but I do feel all of this happened so fast. That's why when people question for how many years I'm doing the same thing, and for how long I'll continue doing it, I find it odd. Because for me, I have just arrived, if I am working with all these women, I'm also young right?"
He continues, "But on a serious note, on days like this, what I do is, Twitter people put all the pictures of me from all my films, and a couple of days ago I really sat down to count the pictures, there were so many posters there. I don't even know how many films I've done."
Shah Rukh also opened up about the stardom he owns and his films among other things. He said, "I know it'll sound odd, but it hasn't set in yet. One can look at it and say if I expected all this, then I'd say no. This was meant to be, I have never given it more importance or credibility, or anything else, I have never sat down and told myself that I have become a star. A lot of people tell me, my well-wishers, my team that as a star I need to do this and not do this as I am a star. But, I have never done anything to maintain it, or lose it, or make it, or break it."
"I also have outbursts, ego and self-importance like every human being has, but I have treated it with a lot of humility, it is a job I do. I do it well, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But I am detached to the outcome. I feel bad if a film doesn't do well, or good if it does, but it lasts for about six hours, then I move on."
Shah Rukh Khan will be next seen in Imtiaz Ali’s upcoming film Jab Harry Met Sejal alongside Anushka Sharma, releasing on August 4!
