Shahrukh Khan
Bollywood actor.
After all, what is a film? It is selling of a dream. We have to tell lies to people, we have to sell them dreams.
Money is a good thing to run after. It is very important to be financially stable but you have to keep your wrongs and rights in mind. Don't shy away from earning but without selling your soul.
If you get bored with the person you married for love, there's something wrong with you - not with that person.
I feel very strongly about souls who are misguiding people in the name of religion.
I believe my nation is truly secular, I truly believe that.
I am not insecure enough to count the bouquets I receive on my birthday, I don’t assess my popularity by the number of magazine covers I am on, I don’t get worried if my song is on the seventh position on countdown charts.
Success makes people - people not related to you or to your field - like to take a dig at you.
Successful people do things, and get over with it, and leave others to live their life off it. I DO them. And then I leave it to others to live their life off it.
I've been there, done it all. I'm very clear about my priorities as an entertainer. I want the audience to feel good when they watch me. That's what I'm paid for. Why should I sell anything else?
I've become a free-for-all brand. I hope they come out with a rule that they can't use a person's name without paying him for it!
I think I invoke radical passions in people - and that is why I am such a big star!
If I'm ever asked to do something in the national interest, do a project of national relevance, it's not as if I will not charge for it, but I will ensure that what I give back is not just worth that money, but is a little more than that.
It takes a lot of intellect to be able to convince people to believe in fantasy – but people don't seem to be able to recognize that.
I like talking when people ask me sensible questions. Ask me senseless questions also, but in a context, and I can have fun, I can make you laugh at my answers.
There is no alternative to work. I find nothing nicer than working. Bhatt saab tells me that I am a workaholic. If I don’t work I get a headache and I feel depressed. I like to work round the clock all the time.
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?)
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.
Rani Mukerji has the most beautiful eyes in the world.
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.
