Youngsters are the most discerning audience. They want entertainment, they want issues.
Shahrukh KhanDon't let your fears become boxes that enclose you. Open them out, feel them and turn them into the greatest courage you are capable of. I promise you, nothing will go wrong. But if you live by your fears, everything that can possibly go wrong will go wrong and you won't even have done the 'Funky Chicken'.
Shahrukh KhanWell, Kajol's a lovely lady! She's a pleasure to work with and I really enjoy her company! She has the ability to make someone feel so important...she herself is really cheerful and she makes others around her feel cheerful too. I don't believe I've ever seen her cry...except in front of the camera of course! I believe she has the potential to go so far.She is such an insipiration to everyone around her.....including me!
Shahrukh KhanSo I am hoping my second outing to your wonderful university turns out differently, because it would be highly embarrassing if I said, โGood evening Yaleitesโ or โYalersโ, or whatever you guys are called, and got stuck at Yaaaaaโฆ. That wouldnโt make for much of a speech.
Shahrukh KhanThe enigma of cinema is gone because of the focus on business. As soon as you attach numbers to a film, you limit it. Films are meant to be an escape from reality.
Shahrukh KhanThere is a fallible quality even in the greatest ones,everyone fails once in a while, be it Shah Rukh Khan or Ronaldhino
Shahrukh KhanI cannot repay my fans for what they have done for me, they have given me so much love and that love has taken me to the number 1 position where I am today, the only thing I can do for my fans is to never stop workingั
Shahrukh KhanAs an actor you're only supposed to be a lover. I am a romantic hero though I don't like that tag. With all the hardships, problems, illness, goodness, badness, awards and money... an actor will always be a lover. And a lover makes mistakes. You'll be silly, nonsensical and stupid.
Shahrukh KhanIt is a dichotomous time where the younger generation is perceived as free. But smoking pot is not being free. Taking drugs is not being free. I feel that being courteous and telling your dad, 'I'm going to have a drink' with your dad saying 'give me one too' is cool. That's being freer, happier and nicer. But having issues and saying that 'I am my own person, I am moving out Mom!' is not. Yes, if your mom tells you to move out then that's being free.
Shahrukh KhanSometimes, I feel the reason I have become a star beyond my films is that I am politically incorrect.
Shahrukh KhanWhenever you're feeling down..And I am not around let the sight of me be the reason you smile
Shahrukh KhanYeah, I treat all my heroines like children now. I pick them up, I cuddle them, I call them baby.
Shahrukh KhanWe are not supposed to have an opinion. If we have an opinion, it has to be controversial โ that is how we are always projected. It is difficult.
Shahrukh KhanI thank God for happiness and sadnessIf you are never sad you will never know how good happiness is
Shahrukh KhanThe illusion that you could hold to yourself the things you most want and lose the things you least wanted to keep..ฤฑs the struggle of lฤฑfe.
Shahrukh KhanAfter I began working, I realised there's no end line. I believe that money has nothing to do with your personal success. On the face of it, I'm the biggest capitalist of all. I have all the riches. I'm the living proof of what stardom should be in material terms. But I've never sold my soul. I've not done anything which I didn't want to do. I've not done films for money. I'm not saying this with arrogance but I've never asked for a film.
Shahrukh KhanI'd like to believe there's a little of Hitler and Napoleon in me. Even if I try, I can't be as selfless as Mahatma Gandhi and Mother Teresa.
Shahrukh KhanI have memories of being in Yale five years ago. It was December and so damn cold that while professing love to my leading lady and singing a Bollywood ditty which went something like this, Kabhie alvida na kehna โ my mouth froze itself to death. I say death because as I inched closer to kiss her, mouthing the words kabhi alvida naโฆ my mouth and jaw just locked.
Shahrukh KhanYou know, I think we Indians are afraid to show and celebrate our happiness, lest things change around. But I feel that it's okay to be sad and okay to show when you are happy.
Shahrukh KhanAs a person, I am still very middle class. People donโt realise these things. Most of the black suits that I wear are the same. All the designer clothes I have are actually from my films. I donโt dream of Rolls Royce and things like thatโฆ People are kind enough to me to give me the nicest things in life, but it doesnโt mean that Iโm used to them.
Shahrukh KhanI've told Kamal Haasan, Amitabh Bachchan, Naseeruddin Shah, Nana Patekar, I just want to touch you. They are the gods of acting. When 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 donโt sit around complaining about the lack of good roles. I will play Raj 85 times and still make him different.
