I love fulfilling desires of my children: Shah Rukh Khan

May 9, 2016

Mumbai, May 9: Superstar Shah Rukh Khan has been ruling Bollywood for the last two-decades but he says he doesn't celebrate success and loves fulfilling desires of his children.

SRK"I am a 'fakir' that ways, I don't celebrate success. If you meet me for seven days I would be in the same pants. I love giving things to people. I don't buy anything for myself. I don't have the requirement to spend money on myself," Shah Rukh said.

"I don't have any personal desires, I love fulfilling desires of my children. I don't listen to music so I don't buy speakers. I have lot of shoes, but all that comes from shootings because I wear sneakers," he said.

However, Shah Rukh says his expenditure is mostly on his lifestyle.

"I love big things, so we have a big house, big office and big films, my money gets spent on all this. The only time I spend money is on filmmaking. I don't go out to restaurant, I eat at home and that too same food. I don't buy new clothes. And whatever I have an excitement for, I am already endorsing it," he said.

After achieving immense success, Khan now has a huge empire- a film production company, VFX studio, IPL team, investments in companies and properties abroad.

"I feel I should do something new as I have got the opportunity to do it. A lower middle class boy comes from Delhi has not even a penny to his name, parents are not there, orphan and you get these opportunities," Shah Rukh said.

"But if I don't do all this (investments in IPL team, VFX studio), then I would be the biggest star at leisure doing my acting, endorsements and take some holidays," he said.

The "Fan" star is aware that he may fail at doing things, but he is more content with taking risks and trying out different things.

"I may fail but at least I gave it a shot. We all will fail, we all will have an end to our career one day, so let's try something new," the 50-year-old actor said.

Shah Rukh admits he hardly sits with his team (related to his businesses) primarily due to time constraints.

"I hardly spend an hour or 15 minutes with my team which is wrong. Aditya Chopra (filmmaker-friend) keeps telling me that I should sit down on the businesses," he said.

"As an actor, I spend ten hours on a set, I hardly get time. I believe and have faith in my team, I feel they are fantastic managers, better than me. They come to me and ask if a thing is right or wrong," he said.

However, earlier SRK used to take keen interest in developing his huge empire, including the IPL team and the companies where he has invested.

"Ten years back I was hands-on, I used to even write ads for KKR (his IPL team), I used to edit ads. Three years ago I entered into lot of things and I closed down lot of stuff also," he said.

"Now I only do film production, VFX, KKR, Kidzania and my acting career. I am not into day-to-day running of all these things," the "Dilwale" star said.

Shah Rukh doesn't believe in taking loan, rather he falls back on his own capabilities.

"I go and do certain things that people don't do like, dance at functions, do more appearances and few more endorsements and put back the money in the company. My belief is I should be able to run my business. I put my money where my mouth is. So far so good," he said.

Shah Rukh said whatever he earns, he invests it back into his businesses .

"My personal money is what I get from acting and from here and there (meaning endorsements). I don't need money that ways. We are spending not much more than what we are earning and if we do, I have to work out and we try to cut down stuff," he said.

Meanwhile, on work front, Shah Rukh will be seen next in "Raees". He is also doing Gauri Shinde's film with Alia Bhatt, and has a film each with Anand L Rai and Imtiaz Ali.

According to The Verge, other channels banned include American Renaissance (with its associated channel AmRen Podcasts) and the channel for Spencer's National Policy Institute.

YouTube began taking stern measures on supremacist channels in June 2019.

"We have strict policies prohibiting hate speech on YouTube, and terminate any channel that repeatedly or egregiously violates those policies," the Verge quoted a YouTube spokesperson as saying.

"After updating our guidelines to better address supremacist content, we saw a 5x spike in video removals and have terminated over 25,000 channels for violating our hate speech policies," the spokesperson added.

Jun 25: Bollywood star Sushant Singh Rajput’s last movie “Dil Bechara” is getting a release on Disney+Hotstar on July 24.

With an aim to honour the legacy of the actor, the streaming platform is making the movie available to even the non-subscribers.

Rajput was found dead at his Bandra home on June 14 at the age of 34.

Billed as a soulful love story, “Dil Bechara” marks the directorial debut of casting director and Rajput's industry friend Mukesh Chhabra. The film is produced by Fox Star Studios.

“We are humbled to be able to play a small part in sustaining the legacy of a fine actor like Sushant Singh Rajput. In celebration of his life and his extraordinary work, 'Dil Bechara' will release directly on digital this July on Disney+ Hotstar; and will be available to all subscribers and non-subscribers across India. Our prayers and wishes to his family and loved ones,” Uday Shankar, President – The Walt Disney Company APAC and Chairman, Star & Disney India, said.

The actor had a long-standing relationship with the STAR & Disney India network, having started his career with the show “Kis Desh Mein Hai Meraa Dil” in 2008 to his Bollywood transition where he delivered some of his most memorable performances in “M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story” (2016) and “Chhichhore” (2019), both produced by Fox Star Studios.

Chhabra said he never imagined he would release the film without Rajput.

 “Sushant was not just the hero of my debut film as a director, but he was a dear friend who stood by me through thick and thin. We had been close right from 'Kai Po Che!' to 'Dil Bechara'. He had promised me that he would be in my first film.

"So many plans were made together, so many dreams were dreamt together but never once did I ever imagine that I would be left alone to release this film. He always showered immense love on me while I was making it and his love will guide us as we release it,” the director said.

“Dil Bechara” is the official remake of 2014 Hollywood romantic drama “The Fault in our Stars”, which was based on John Green’s popular novel of the same name. The Hindi adaptation of the movie was done by Shashank Khaitan and Suprotim Sengupta.

“Dil Bechara” will see Rajput in a leading role alongside debutante Sanjana Sanghi, and Saif Ali Khan in an interesting cameo.

The music of the film has been composed by AR Rahman and the lyrics are by Amitabh Bhattacharya.

“Dil Bechara” revolves around Kizie Basu (Sanghi) and Immanuel Rajkumar Junior or Manny (Rajput) and explores the funny, thrilling, and tragic adventure of being alive and in love.

Together Kizie and Manny embark on an on-off-up-down-sad and sweet profound journey into the heart of that crazy little thing called life. It teaches them what it means to feel truly alive and fall in love.
