Shahrukh Khan
Bollywood actor.
Creativity has this problem, sometimes it'll be liked, sometimes it won't. It's unfortunate that perhaps we expected something more popular from this music, and it isn't that. See, this is very subjective. You will find enough people who like that also, I think.
I don’t make my kids say I’m their favorite star.
I would want my children to grow up and do what they wish to in a field that they choose to step in. They should not have to use the shadow of their father’s name. I think that is a bit of a downer for a movie star’s children.
I think if you take sexuality very seriously it becomes very oily.
I don’t sit down with the scripts. As long as I like the people I’m working with that’s enough for me.
Films and filmmakers and actors are part of a strange art form, which is only measured by the yardstick of commerce. So it's a dichotomy; it'll always be so.
I am where I never thought I would be. I got much more than what I had expected. I am strong believer in God, hard work and honesty.
Recently somebody asked me if I’m still in touch with my feminine side. They ask me why did I do the Lux ad and things like that. I think there is a feminine side to me, as people like to assume.
I may say things with the right intention, but more often than not, people will misconstrue it.
I take care not to remind my audience that I am Shah Rukh Khan. The better thing to do is to hold a mirror for them and to tell them, ‘This is you.’
A person must buy my film only if he feels good about it, not otherwise.
I am not confident unless I am playing someone else.
I never yell at kids. I just hug them hard and threaten them not to do something again. I would never be aggressive with a woman or a little child. I would rather die before I raise hand on a little kid or a lady.
I believe the show must go on.
Hero is a misnomer. India is the only place left in the world where we call our stars heroes and heroines.
Actually another thing that keeps me going in the industry is trying to do a film that impresses [his kids].
I am popular for all that I’ve done on the screen. That is why I’m never ashamed of what I’ve done in front of the camera, nor am I extra-proud of what I’ve done.
Rani Mukerji has the most beautiful eyes in the world.
I am very shy. If I am flying British Airways and the airhostess asks me two questions, and I don't understand her accent - I will go hungry for the entire flight.
It makes it easier to get happiness. I do believe in a material world to a certain extent. I think material happiness is quite an important step before you look for spiritual happiness. There are people who think the other way round. They might also be right. But in the kind of education and the world where I have grown up, and we all are growing up, a certain level of consumerism become a reality. (as an answer to the question: Do you think that money can buy happiness?)
