Superstar Shah Rukh Khan is one the most beloved megastars
in our country today and the love from his fans only increases as the days go
by. But when you are at the position where Shah Rukh is as a star, one wonders
how humble can that person be.
Getting frank with a famous tabloid, Shah Rukh specified,
"I read this saying somewhere, and I would keep saying it till about 10
years ago that I am not yet great enough to be humble. Now, I really feel that
I am great enough to be humble. I am truly humble. I am being honest, not
pompous. In life, you sometimes reach a level of achievement where humility
should be at the forefront you will see this in most achievers. I will not say
that I have achieved the most. I am not saying that I am the biggest superstar.
I still believe there's a long way to go and I love superstardom. I wear it on
my sleeve and I enjoy it. I am a rockstar and I really believe that I am a cool
guy. I'd rather be this than anything else. I want to have a private jet and I
want to enjoy all the trappings of a movie star. I want to come late on the set
and make movies the way I do. And I say all this without any cynicism. I have
never said this to anyone from my team, `Oh, he can wait for me'. I am just
unfortunately and unfashionably late, but that doesn't mean that I disrespect
anyone or their time. It's like bachpan mein maa bolti thi ki jis ped par zyada
phal hote hai woh jhuk jaata hai."
He spoke about how his kids make fun of him for being a
star. The actor disclosed, "In fact, my kids joke about me being a star
(in a nice way). If they see me telling my team that, `Guys, this has to be
done by 9 pm!' suddenly, Aryan will say...`Ohh...S..R..K!' They know that I
don't take stardom seriously, so they can make fun of it. They don't say it,
but I know that my family is bothered about my future. Like Aryan says, `You
have to be a big star baba because AbRam should not be bereft of it. He is so
young and he has not seen your stardom yet, we have seen it'. He tells me that
I should work hard and AbRam should have the same upbringing that they had. He
says, `You have to work harder, as you doing all this isn't the same as me
doing well, or mama doing something well or Suhana doing well. It's not the
same when baba does something well. So, you have to look healthy and strong.'
That is really sweet. So, I think that my family is attached to my stardom, but
we are not sold out to it. I believe that when you are a superstar, you have to
let people listen to your heartbeat. You are not supposed to tell them... `Aye,
yeh karo, woh karo'.They will give you the best things in life if they believe
that you are a superstar. If ONLY you believe that you are a star, you have to
scream it out aloud. It has been long since I actually screamed, so I must have
been a star for many years (smiles!)."
