In an interview with ‘The Hindu’, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has spoken about turning 50 later this year, how social media is a leveller, working with Kajol, his films and a lot more. You can read the full interview here.
Here are some excerpts:
- On the chemistry that he shares with Kajol: “People talk about our romance and chemistry. But between us, we’ve covered different genres, from Baazigar through Karan Arjun, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and K3G, and My Name is Khan. Each time, we push ourselves to do better and have reached a stage where we can criticise each other when we feel we aren’t up to the mark”
- On producing expensive films under his banner, Red Chillies Entertainment: “A film has to be technically good to draw people to the cinemas. My friends Adi (Aditya Chopra) and Karan (Johar) ask me why I spend so much making a film. I do it because people spend a lot to watch a film. If a project is for a niche audience, it should mentally stimulate the viewer”
- On the impact of social media: “It is a leveller. On twitter, I get appreciation and abuse directly from people. When I entered the industry, movie stars had to be mysterious, enigmatic. I feel the accessibility we see today will make way for regular guys who think of cinema as a regular job”
- Turning 50 early next month: “I will be turning 50 soon. People tell me that 40, 50 and 75 are landmark years. I don’t think so. It’s just another year.”

I cant read the whole interview..where is the link???
its is always a pleasure to read SRK’s interviews
Srk-Kajol’s pairing is evergreen.It’s just lovely to see the way they have evolved over the years.Even though I loved their chemistry in every movie but they were a revelation in My name is Khan.I bet nobody have complemented each other so well in any recent movie.The nuances of the actors when Kajol breaks down after her child’s death was just too good
The best part about his stardom his he’s the perhaps the first actor to bridge the gap between an actor and an audience.There’s no mystifying quality in him.He’s so open about his personal life.You feel he’s one among us.There’s no air about being a huge superstar.That’s why he’s adored so much
He’s just 50 but by the blessings of all his fans I am sure he’s gonna entertain us for many more decades
@Ajay You know the biggest shame for Ajay is despite working in the industry for so many years that too with his wife and Rohit on numerous occasion he still couldn’t give a single HGOTY whereas Srk has given that without Rohit and Kajol on umpteen occasion in India and in overseas
I just can’t believe he’s turning 50.He looks much younger than the youngistaan actors except for the packs on his face.
ONLY SRK MATTERS
@Ajay sucks 2:52 pm : Can’t believe you are bothered how SRK should save himself?? Better worry about ‘Coal mines’ , because his credibility is already on stake due to craps like “Darpokwala” and “Ache-son Jack-son” . Also, despite of a highly acclaimed movie “Drishyam” , he failed to cross the 100 cr barrier which is a cakewalk now-a-days even for new comers.
@Hyderbadi 3:34 pm : At least he is natural and he doesn’t want to use 100 tactics just to prove he is still young. But look at criminal, he has turned into a living “Steroid factory” due to high dose of steroids. He lost all the hairs from his scalp because of high dose of steroids, still you and other lunatic fans of criminal think he is the most handsome and charming person on this earth . Rofl.
Note it down somewhere :
Criminal khan -(minus) steroid = Rajpal yadav Lolx
@Aunt 4:07 pm : Better worry about your chehra . Age has started leaving its traces on your face and Hyderabadi eNViouS has already shifted his loyalty from you to “Ajay Sucks”. So do something before it becomes too late and he gets into an illegal relationship (Yes, it is still not allowed in India) with Ajay Sucks.
@xzone don’t be dumb okay.
What do you mean nothing like allowed today’s era? Are you referring to India asia or the world specicfy! Had Ajay refused only in your dreams you would see Kajol acting again. Where are your back ups ?
2. Pyar toh hona hi ta was a super hit at box office and 3rd highest grosser for that year so try and get your facts right. Being jealous of Ajay will take you no where instead make you look like someone who started watching hindi movie yesterday.
3. Shah rukh khan and kajol hit screen since 1996? Another sign of rushing to type to bash Ajay Sir. Calm down bro Srk and Kajol were seen on screen since 1993 not 1996.
Don’t create any scene here with ajay okay. There’s also a soft spot for Shah rukh Sir so don’t ruin it because of ignorance or envy. Even I as an Ajay fan is looking forward for both of them in Dilwale so relax.
very well said my king…….40, 50, 75 …….is just another year…..woahhhh love it the way he answered every question……just brilliant…no body i say nobody as Witty as him and about charisma please dont tell me he is the best….love you my king and HBD in advance long live for you
There r many years left for King srk to rule yet. We love u srk.
Love Love Love SRK.No matter whats your age its you who is important to me.Even at the age of 100 I will watch your movie irrespective of its genre,story etc.
He is one of the best producers in bollywood.Always allow the director to make the film in whatever way director want to and never worry about the finance.When srk is your producer he will give free hand to spend on the movie.But both Farah and RA1 director couldnot give positive outputs of his generosity.
Srk is a flop hero but he is movie are hits bc he makes movies with good directors or producers but truth is tht his movies like chennai express was really awful but jab tak hai jaan was cool and rocking but usually his most movies are waste of time and money
BTW very inspiring and motivating speech by our king.
@Indicine : please publish my comments without asking. now kindly publish my ” Oct 2:16 pm / 3155844 ” comment .
my fav Old Actors Amitabh bachhan,dharmendra and now SrK
My fav young actors Shahid,arjun,tiger,hrithik and salman(Still look like 30 yr old)
@Azhar have some respect for Srk. Stop comparing Eemran and Akshay with Srk. Rather compare eemran with akki.
@ Tej Gaurav :
Please tell those same things to @Ajay Rocks . Look how he began abusing SRK without being prompted to do so !
@ Nameless Vagabond Salmaniac (NVS) :
yeah , keep doing ‘hahahahahaha’ . I am doubtful whether you can do that after PRDP releases this Diwali , lol !
@Tej Gaurav 6:36 pm : Another reckless speech but unfortunately I don’t give a da’am to such speeches. Yes, narrow minded people like you can restrict their wives and assault them, but that is not the case with everyone. Working or staying a t home, that is totally the choice of a woman and if Ajay would have restricted Kajol, then he would not have harmed anyone but himself, proving him jealous and insecure. Will you take permission from your partner before changing your job or starting a new venture? If not, then why you expect the same from her?
Next, I just named few movies to make his dumb fan “Ajay sucks ” realize where Ajay stands and you started burning. So let me mention few others to increase your pain :
Goondaraj, Hulchul,Raju chaha, Haal-E-Dil etc. Now go and check the verdicts of all these movies .
And yeah, I know Kajol had acted in Bajigar and Karan-Arjun as well, but your problems started only with Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge. That’s why I have specifically mentioned that movie on the top.
Now listen the most important thing. If you want to give a lecture, go and give to that kiddo “Ajay sucks”. I asked him many times not to bash SRK, but that moron is so adamant that he never bothered. He always posts his filth on SRK articles. So now game is on. You can also join him and bash SRK, I don’t have any issue with that.
But if you are expecting that you continue to bash Ajay whereas I should keep quiet then I guess you are wasting your time. I will continue to bash him from top to bottom and with every passing day it will become more ugly. Just wait and watch.
Srk is my second favorite actor after aamir since 1990s. I have huge respect for him. He is definitely a great actor just like megastar aamir. They both are biggest global megastars.I might have bashed him in past only because of his fans who bashed aamir. But I believe that he is definitely a big megastar and pride to India.
My most favorite actors of all time
1. Aamir khan
2. Srk
3. Hrithik roshan
4. Akshay kumar
5. Varun dhawan
@xxx dvd
I dont worry about the xxx fantasies your empty brain zone churns out every day on here bcoz I know it must be hard for you to accept the harsh reality which is that you are a lifelong resident at Tihar with no future…!
@yoyo akki srk kindly respect @indicine by deleting Akshays name and replacing it with Hritik roshan. And who told you Hritik is not a superstar? Hun!
Acting Entertainment
Srk Salman
Aamir Ranbir
Ajay Akki
Hritik Ranveer
Always keep it in mind.
Srk king of Rom
Salman king of masses
Aamir king of Selectivity perfection
Ajay king of versatility
Akshay king of Comedy
Hritik king of charisma
Ranbir Prince of Queen Deepika Pallu.

All 3 Khans are living legends of Bollywood. Out of his up coming movies I am waiting the most for FAN. Then Raees and then Dilwale. However the box office returns of the movies may be in reverse order.
Yes sir, A 50year is nothing to us, the king khan, becouse we’r expeting 100years bollywood as super star.

dilwale will earn more than previous dilwale ajay devgan waale
@NVS you moron, I used to think you are only sensible Salman fan but your sick and disgusting comments are pissing me off. Who the hell r you to insult a global icon, great actor and biggest megastar “Shahrukh khan?” Teri aukaat hi kya hai tapiri rikshawaale? Get lost from here. Whoever your idol is, is nothing in front of srk.
Srk has highest fan following in my planet. In fact all his 3.7 billions something fans are living in me. I am the biggest planet on solar system. Trust me dont laugh when people has 3.7 billions fans because they indeed live inside me. He may have less fan following than Salman and aamir in earth, but in my planet, no one can reach his popularity. Trust me.
@ Nameless Vagabond Salmaniac (NVS) :
yeah , keep doing ‘hahahahahaha’ . I am doubtful whether you can do that after PRDP releases this Diwali , lol !
