Quotes from Shahrukh Khan’s Interview

Journalists love Shahrukh Khan because most of his interviews are witty, straight from the heart, has tons of quotable quotes, and he only talks about himself.

One such interview was published on Indian Express with the headline “I only know one person who is the best and that’s me”

Below we have a few more quotes from his interview. You can read the full interview here

  • I take a long time to say no. I feel bad whenever I have to refuse a film. I avoid the conversation, make excuses not to meet or call the person, and then read the script a few more times.
  • I don’t understand when actors say they did a film because it was “challenging” or “exciting”. Those are heavy words. I like to be simple — I want to be happy.
  • I’ve doled out a lot of different stuff and the audience has always loved me. ‘Swades’ may not be so huge commercially, but it was loved. Ditto with Chak De! India, even Ra.One. As a superhero film, it didn’t have that big a market, but my audience loved it.
  • I feel really bad if my film doesn’t work. Every moment, I can feel the weight of a billion people’s expectation on my shoulders.
  • (Advice to young actors) I’ll tell him to do exactly what the old Shah Rukh Khan did. Just be yourself. You’ll find enough people on the way to help you reach where you want to go, but don’t make any plans. I’ll tell you a little story. When I had just come to Mumbai, two-three of us, all young actors, were chatting. I won’t name them because it’ll create a new controversy. One of them said, ‘I don’t want to get typecast.’ I told him, ‘Nobody knows you yet. You need to be cast to be typecast’. The other guy said, ‘I won’t do TV.’ I told him, ‘If you get a great offer, please do it. There is no right or wrong way of achieving success’. Like I’ve written in my book, ‘The best way to act is to act.’
  • I’ve always maintained that I don’t have any competition. I’m selfishly selfish that way. I only know one person who is the best and that’s me.
  • I don’t understand Rs 100 crore or Rs 200 crore. Talking of Happy New Year, if you have a leading star, a hit director, a superstar heroine and you release a film in the holiday period, then it will make big money. It’s a no-brainer that it’ll do well.
  • It’s been my dream —for a while — to participate in a film that takes Indian cinema worldwide; something like Life is Beautiful, which is an Italian film but speaks to everyone.

  • He is an intriguing personality. I don’t really admire his movies (apart from few classics) but his personality is quite magnetic. He has come a long way. From a theatre actor to one of the biggest superstars of this country. And you can’t ignore his contribution to Indian cinema.

  • Jaadoo fans would strongly disagree with our King- superhero films have a huge potential market to find great success- Jaaduland can make or break a superhero film- king should have marketed his film heavily there n got critics like nipun on board…!

  • Our king does not care of box office numbers and records but we care and we want our kings film HNY to break Dhoom 3 lifetime record

  • Kings advice to young actors should really be- “avoid signing Farah, Sajid and Kunders films at any cost….”

  • Our king only knows one person who is best and that person is our king himself but others should also accept that our king is best

  • Excellent Quotes

    A Man who always Speaks with Heart & Brain.

    Meaningful Thoughts.

    Salute U my KING.

    Congo for Record Breaking Happy New Year.

    May u have Many many many more successes.

  • Yes King Khan you are the best even you tried different genres atleast your movie got the hit and When Aamir and Hrithik tried we know Talaash and Kites came and ha ha ha
    .. Salman even he copied a south movie but couldnt delivered a hit.

  • No you are not the best…..you are self-proclaimed best…..Acting is a very broad area and each actor is a master in a certain category…else you would have been national award winner every year!

  • “I only know one person who is the best and that’s me.”
    Such a boastful person. They say pride has a fall. Here not only Srk but also HNY is having a huge fall at the box office.

  • Truly Srk has tons of quotes in his interviews but repeats the same old dialogues in his movies and in HNY he has done the same by repeating dialogues from DDLJ,Don,Om shanti Om and even Deepika supported him by giving 70 min speech of Chak de India.lol

  • First : he did not give advice to young actors . He gave advice to his younger self .
    Second : 1st quote as srk said on twitter ystday ” The one person I know best is me, like I know about myself the best, not as written”

    We trust you indicine , respect that :)

  • @Navin i disagree with u bcoz there was not much scope in HNY for overacting bcoz of dance practice and other 5 losers along with Jackie shroff had good screen presence.lol

  • never ever i have heard the likes of dilip kumar or amitabh bachchan say i am the best.. such modest n great souls.. n here we have a crappy actor like srk who makes crappy movies like chennai express n happy new year say he is the best.. for christ sake wake up.. self proclaimed king

  • Nonsense!! First, you practice what you preach!! Stop being arrogant, insecure and jealous of others!! Stop smoking in public! Hypocrite!! HNY today 13-14 Crores!!

  • I got big laugh while reading the last SRK statement “I want to work in a movie that takes Indian Cinema Worldwide”. What by working in films like Ra One, JTHJ, Chennai Express, Happy New Year ? …lol…Do cinemas like Lakshya, Bhaag Milka Bhaag, 3 Idiots, PK, Pann Singh Tomar, Haider, Aprachit, Krish 3, Robo, Special 26, Holiday etc to take it to international level…

  • I don’t get it . ppl of indicine, Do you want records Or meaningful films ? Haider way Or bang bang way ?

    Or Do you just want to bash the star that you don’t like ?!

  • If you say Iam best and no one else says that means
    You he is best for himself not any one else
    Self obsessed self declard ching of china I guess or ping or what ever

  • I laugh on those people who dont understand the meaning of srks words abt he is the best….he showing his attitude… its all about motivation…..dont take it literally…..if anyone has to grow in competition they should follow his attitude….

  • As an actor, anchor…there is no match for Srk…..best suited ,loving ,charming personality from india giving tough competition to hollywood actors
