Superstar Shah Rukh Khan is one actor who has never shied
away from taking risks, whatever the consequence may be. But with stardom comes
its own share of criticism and uncertainties. While the former is something
that the megastar takes in his stride, one wonders how he deals with his anxieties.
When a famous tabloid questioned SRK if he has ever faced
insecurities, the actor confessed, "I have never been an insecure person.
I have been in this business for long as an actor and personally as well. I
feel actors and films are like water, they will find their level. I have never
made a film in 25 years, except perhaps one, for any other reason than to just
entertain people and make them happy. To me, the bottom-line is, there’s no
point doing a film if people don’t like it. The biggest goal is, can I change
your mood for two-and-a-half hours when you are in the theatre and you come out
walking telling that it enveloped me for these two hours in whichever way —
happy, sad, intense or thinking! Besides that, there have been no other
insecurities. And I have never had reasons to be insecure."
He continues in the same mood, "There will be a film
which will do badly, but there are so many of them which have done so well,
too. So when you look at it, yes you hear smatterings of conversations. But I
have been hearing it for 22 years that my career is over. Everyone keeps saying
it, but people don’t understand the business, the intensity that most actors
and actresses use to entertain people. I am just very happy releasing my films.
If they like it, they will do well. If they don’t, then I feel sad that I
wasn’t able to deliver my prime goal which is to touch your life for
two-and-a-half hours."
In the meantime, on the film front, SRK will be next seen in
Imtiaz Ali's yet-to-be titled movie with Anushka Sharma and Aanand L. Rai's
next.
