TIL Desk Bollywood/ Superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who is often referred as the romantic hero of Bollywood, believes that the art is important and not the artiste.
“An actor is just like water… he should just adapt the colour and shape. I believe the art is important, the artist is not. The art remains and not the artist and as an actor, I feel if I think like that I can work with some amount of purity. The purity will be retained if I believe that my art is important than myself,” Shah Rukh Khan said at an event to launch a biography on him by “Kuchh Meetha Ho Jaye” director Samar Khan.
“25 years in the film industry was a big dream for a boy who came from Delhi all those years ago. These years have been full of excitement, hard work and various ups and downs and this book is a tribute to all these film makers who believed in me and my dreams. I am extremely thankful to all my fans who have made me who I am today and would like to thank Royal stag mega music, Samar and everybody associated with this book,” he said.
“Sometimes it’s awkward… today being in this position, the choices are less. I meet many directors but it goes out of hand sometimes. Despite spending 25 years, I still feel like a newcomer. I find it awkward I have spent 25 years but I still feel like a newcomer.”
