My biggest achievement is that I can make a lot of people smile just by my presence, even if it's a Lux ad.
Shahrukh KhanStand by what you believe in. People who mind won't matter and people who matter won't mind it
Shahrukh KhanStudy hard. Work hard. Play harder. Don't be bound by rules, don't hurt anybody and never ever live somebody else's dream.
Shahrukh KhanRecently an actor asked me to teach him how to speak fast. Wasn't I once criticised for speaking too fast? Now they're doing it my way.
Shahrukh KhanThere's a whole form of literature in India which talks about the quest for the perfect man by a woman, where every woman looks for a perfect man but only ends up with half that.
Shahrukh KhanI have never claimed to do the right kind of things and make politically correct statements.
Shahrukh KhanOne thing I teach my children and want everyone to know that even if you happen to be on a pedestal you should have the capacity to turn around and say, 'I don't know'. We are scared to go wrong. Downfall is part of life.
Shahrukh KhanMaybe the country doesnโt pray for me like they do for Sachin Tendulkar, but I know Iโm on a good wicket as well.
Shahrukh KhanI 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.
Shahrukh KhanMore than an actor, I am a performer... I'm a great believer - honestly so, shamelessly so, vulgarly so - that cinema is for entertainment. If you want to send messages, there's the postal service.
Shahrukh KhanAs for my destination, I donโt think I ever knew one. I walk, I run in the direction of my dreams. Things change along the way, people change, I change, the world changes, even my dreams change. I donโt have a place to arrive, I just keep doing what I know how to do, the best that I can do it. Iโll probably end up a deluded geriatric in a wheelchair wearing a cape and tights, imagining my own flight out of this world, but of course with a young girl in my arms.
Shahrukh KhanI've won many awards and I want more. If you want to call it hunger then I'm hungry for awards.
Shahrukh KhanWell Mandira, I hope not. You see, I started both their careers. And as far as i can remember, I started yours too.
Shahrukh KhanNo - Kajol can never go anywhere. Kajol is absolutely hearts and minds and memories and silloys for ever and ever. I think if I was to, I wouldn't be exaggerating I if say in our times of film-making she's a beautiful living legend.
Shahrukh KhanMy life may seem glamorous from the outside but off screen it's as ordinary as anyone else's.
Shahrukh KhanWhenever I start feeling too arrogant about myself, I always take a trip to the U.S. The immigration guys kick the star out of my stardom.
Shahrukh KhanWhen people call me God, I say, no, I'm still an angel or saint of acting. I still have a long way to go.
Shahrukh KhanI don't like the trappings of stardom. I wear the shoes and the Dolce & Gabbana, because I'm told to. But I'm not trapped by it.
Shahrukh KhanI do have a close circle of friends and I am very fortunate to have them as friends. I feel very close to them I think friends are everything in life after your family. You come across lots of people all the time but you only make very few friends and you have to be true to them otherwise what's the point in life?
Shahrukh KhanYes I have made a lot of money and I have a lot of respect, my films have done well, and I know there are loads of loads of people who look up to me and really love me. I really just thought this is like a strange dream. I have never thought this is a success - I don't have a standard.
Shahrukh KhanI don't really have much to prove. I can easily go in a comfort zone, make two films a year, hype them because I've signed them as a star, make them cheap and they will be big hits.
Shahrukh KhanI work hard, like I'm sure everyone else does, and I'm very honest with the work I do.
Shahrukh KhanSometimes a lot of us men think we are doing everything for the woman we love, but there is an aspect of a woman a man doesn't understand.
Shahrukh KhanI could lie and say my wife cooks for me, but she doesn't. My wife has never learnt cooking but she has great cooks at home.
Shahrukh KhanWithout hurting anybody, we all tend to laugh at others' discomfort. When someone slips on a banana skin and falls it's funny.
Shahrukh KhanIf I talk to a girl, it's assumed that I'm having a scene with her. If I don't, then it's assumed that I'm gay.
Shahrukh KhanThe day my father died seemed longer than my entire childhood. The day I felt my first success seemed fleeting, hour-long, not long enough perhaps. I wondered where it went. Even the cycle of time confounds me. I work till dark, until sunrise on most days and fall asleep as the world awakens to light. My friends call me an owl. I like to think of myself as Batman โ the prince of darkness.
Shahrukh KhanHealing doesn't mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls your life.
Shahrukh KhanIf you don't like something don't do it, and if you're doing something then you better like it. It is as simple as that.
