In an in-depth interview right
after hugging Salman, Shah Rukh Khan spoke to People magazine
about life under intense scrutiny,
his love for the movies - and his joy over the arrival of his third child, baby
AbRam.
Shah
Rukh Khan’s famous hug with Salman Khan at Baba Siddiqui’s Iftaar party
created major ripples and the media was buzzing with it. While the media tried
to press for details, he diplomatically avoided them.
"There are days when I get up
and feel I have everything I deserve and those are the most honest days,"
says the superstar.
Following are the excerpts from
Shah Rukh Khan's candid chat, in which the movie star talks about a role he is
dying to play, finding solace in his kids and his 21-year partnership with wife
Gauri.
On his love for the movies
"Making a film is a way of
life. The most natural instinct for me is to wake up, wash myself, wear my white
T-shirt, jeans and sneakers, sit in the car with my hair wet and glasses on,
listen to some FM channel and then reach a set. Sometimes I wonder if I stop
going to shoots for good, what will happen to me?"
On life with Gauri
"I think it's very difficult
to live with a person like me. So I value her for the crap she takes from me,
the lack of time I give her and the kind of person I am. I don't think there
are very many people who can live with me. I'm strangely passionate. I'm
strangely detached. I'm strangely wonderful. I'm strangely nasty. I'm strangely
happy and I'm extremely depressed. I'm strangely schizophrenic. I'm a classic
case of being an artist without perhaps having any greatness in my art. So what
I appreciate most about her is that she is able to take all this."
On baby AbRam's health
"He is getting better and in
another month, he should be physically good. It has been a happy and a sad
time. We're not allowed to spend too much time with him, as he lives in a protected
environment. Right now that suits me fine."
