Shahrukh Khan
Bollywood actor.
If I leave Pepsi, and later Coke tells me to do something for them, I'd do it. I have no issues, whether Coke and Pepsi have different ideologies or not. See, I'm called for a job, I'd do it.
See, these things like enmity and fighting... I don’t think I am at that age anymore.
Like beauty, stardom too is skin-deep.
I don’t normally comment about my own films. But my judgment of films is excellent, it is better than yours.
My family likes me as a person and not because I am an actor. I never mix the two. I don't know how much I earn or how many awards I have received.
I am happy making the films I make and I would like the West to be impressed with what we do from India.
If somebody is working very hard, or deserves a lot of money, pay him upfront, say he is going to be working for so much time, he deserves it – and then put the rest of the money where it should go. But unfortunately, that sort of transparency is rarely there.
I only hope that people enjoy viewing the film I’ve enjoyed making. I don’t know whether the film we’ve made is commercial or not, whether it’s good or not, but I do know that we’ve made it honestly and that we've enjoyed making it. I just hope it has turned out to be the film we had set out to make.
I believe it is my job to tell people about what the good points of either company are. I'm not lying in either case.
Sometimes I don't want to dignify things with answers. And it takes a huge amount of self-restraint, patience, control, and love for your own family, to keep quiet. And dignity, and perhaps the status that I have in the eyes of the people.
Often I don't say hello to people for fear that they may not remember me.
I believe that my wife is the most beautiful woman in the world.
[On the Kuch Kuch Hota Hai role]And Rani was so outstandingly beautiful. I saw her on television in a trailer of Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat. And I thought she had the most stunning face I'd seen. And I said [to Karan] why don't you ask Rani to do it?
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.
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.
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.
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.
I think I invoke radical passions in people - and that is why I am such a big star!
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'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?
