TIL Desk Bollywood/ Eating paranthas from the Moolchand dhaba at 4 in the morning, driving down Rajendra Nagar and visiting his parents’ grave… A nostalgic Shah Rukh Khan says memories of Delhi are “deeply embedded” in him.
“It seems like it was in a past life. It has been a long time doing this (films) now,” the star says reflectively, adding that his exuberance on screen did not always translate into his real life.
He is actually very quiet and “needs the aloneness” from sounds, colour and people, Shah Rukh, who was in the capital to promote “Jab Harry Met Sejal”, told. Ever the charmer, Shah Rukh can be funny, introspective and philosophical in the course of a single conversation. Excerpts from an exhaustive interview on his influences in life, his relationships, his cinema and his growing up years.
