Scared of losing or coming second: Shahrukh Khan

Addressing the audience at the 40th National Management Convention organised by the All India Management Association, Shahrukh Khan attributed his stupendous success to the fear that he has of losing or coming second. The actor also said that it is the fear of failure that constantly pushes him to work harder, more than he needs to at this stage of his career.

Khan said “I am scared of losing. I am scared of coming second. I am scared of not making it big. So, I have such a fear of failure that I work harder when even I don’t need to. I work longer when I don’t have to.”

“I never rest on my laurels because I feel that this will be taken away one day. I have this fear that if I don’t work hard enough I will lose what I have attained and not be able to continue to do so. I don’t have blood pressure, neither am I a heart victim, but I need to just work hard.”

“Failures also get you to find who your real friends are. The true strength of your relationship gets tested in the phase of strong adversity. I lost lots of friends post Ra.One, apart from losing a lot of audience too. And after Chennai Express, I haven’t made any new friends but I have a whole new set of enemies now.” Shahrukh added.

The superstar also tweeted late last night after the National Management Convention.

  • he’s saying”i’ve lot of enemies after CE…very true. we are not going to forgive you for what you did to OUATIM2..never!!!beware..what we are going to do with your happy new year…just wait.

  • SRK has a Great heart to accept and he thanks Aamir & Salman for Darr & Bazigar respectively. But look at the Jealous so called fake perfectionist Teddy Khan, he should say thanks to SRK as well for 3-Idiots. All we know that SRK left 3-Idiots, which later signed Aamir and became Aamirs careers biggest hit.

  • At the Birthday of Yash Copra there was only one Hero with All Divas from Rekha to Katrina. That show the power of Real & Only KING.

  • @Sachin11 i don,t know weather he have given 5 flops in a row or not even if he have given it was his start of carear and what about salman who have given 7,8 flops when he was one of the biggest superstars even same for aamir at times of mela,He fears from becoming 2nd position because in his dictionary he don,t want to add 2nd position even from 2011 up to 2013 he was at 2nd position but his haters call him that his carear is over this shows his power And how haters of srk scares from him and how they are jealous from him,@sachin11 you always talk about maya memsab and other movies of him which are bad for your information aamir khan have one movie which he have taken without reading script was awwal number which was one of his wors movies and srk have taken scripts blindly at recent time of his carear because he wants to buy house for him because he was not nawab like aamir,sallu and hrithick who came to industry by theis fathers he even signed khkn for 5000 and do the whole movie for 25000 understand from 1992 up to1996, doing speacial appearance in a movie is directors call or actors of the movie not of those who will do speacial appearance and this is not problem of srk that no one want to give aamir s.appearance in their movie when ever he havd done speacial appearancehe the movie become flop he is such a panaoti for his and other movies,he have total 8 to 10 clean hits and srk have given 10 hits in a row and this is not problem of srk that big banners trust srk not aamir when ever these big banners movies tanked at box office then they have gone to srk not at that time when they were doing well, srk have work with big banners but his movies budget is always bigger than all actors i cant believe that ce is made in budget of 60 to 75 crores because it have only one action scene,one car chasing scene

  • Thakur of Chennai does not need to fear anymore about coming second or losing…!:-)

    Im 100% certain, well to be precise Im 100% super confident, so sure that I’ll remotrtgage everything I own if Thakur does not walk away with both ‘The Golden Kela’ and ‘Ghanta’ best actor award next year…! ;-)

    Truly Sir noone was more deserving than you this year.

    @star thakur roxXxXx chennai with his reckless destruction of the local train network…!

  • @khan please for gods sake do not wish to see Thakur in another comical farcical cartoonish like ‘x-men’ type film along the lines of ‘Raavan Returns As G.one’…! The filmi loving audience are just about recovering from that nightmare and can do without being subjected to another torturefest where the supposed ‘hero’ looks more frightening and scarier than the villain…! :-(
    Unless you proposing Thakur do a biopic of the notoriously infamous criminally insane former srkian henchman and general all round douchebag aka ‘xrated ex-man xzone’ then forget about it my naive childish friend.

    The only worthwhile news Indicine should contemplate wasting precious time and scarce cyber space on is news that Pooja Bhatt wants to direct Thakur in Jism 3 alongside Veena Malik and Poonam Pandey…! Now thats newsworty news unlike how this mickey mouse overseas director wanting to direct a cartoon horror show with Thakur. ;-)

  • @mad mullah imam Gr8 sermon on why Thakur is supreme ruler of Chennai and hats off on that well researched piece on Salman and Aamirs pro and cons. Sincerely my deepest admiration and congratulations…! ;-)

    You proved me wrong and to think that those naive immature incompetent Americans hunted you and your fellow mad mullahs for an entire decade in Tora Bora mountains, wasting tens and tens of billion of dollars worth of bombs non stop all on the pretence /guise that you guys only talk fictional biblical baseless outdated war mongering mumbo jumbo rubbish….. hhhmmm nothing could be further from the truth…. :-P

  • I don,t know what is problem of aamir khan @sachin11 but at his recent movies he have done those kind of movies in which he is very smart 1.d3=smart theif 2.talash=smart cope 3.3i=smart student 4.dhobi ghat=smart painter 5.ghajni=smart buissnesman 6.fana=smart terorist
    and @sachin11 can you tell me why aamir reject darr and baazigar i have answer why srk rejected 3i and rdb he have reject these movies due to kissings ghajni because it was remake lagaan even i didn,t like the script because the script have some error of tax is not taken by those people who were taking.

  • @Sachin11 iam not agree with you srk didn,t choose big banners choose srk so if a movie become hit it,s due to srk not big banners and if your saying that he scares from becoming 2nd so he works with big banners than salman scares from not becoming out of b-town so he do masala movies, aamir and hrithick scares not becoming out of b-town so they realse their after two or three years and if amovie become hit due to big actors speacial appearance than every movie in which aamir khan do guest appearance should become big hit or atleast hit and the same for salman and srk but lucky one in guest appearance and his own movies was srk is srk and will be srk.

  • Don’t worry SRK, in 2-3 years time, you won’t even be second or third, you will be doing character roles, because those are the only type of roles you will be offered, when you are 50+. SRK as the heroes uncle or perhaps the heroines father? Poor SRK, thinks he will stay on as the main lead even after he turns 50. The SRKians will also turn their back on him.

  • @SACHIN11…….YOU ARE THE BIGGEST FOOL I HAVEEVER SEEN…..the big banners you are talking about became big banners because of SRK……YRF became a big banner after Darr,DDLJ before that it gave continous flops like lamhe,parampara etc…..and Dharma productions became todays Dharma productions because of SRK starrer kuch kuch hota hai,k3g,KHNH etc…….no one knew dharma productions before Kuch kuch hota hai………….
    1)No one knew Aditya Chopra before DDLJ
    2)No one knew Karan Johar before Kuch Kuch Hota Hai
    2)No one knew Farah Khan as director before Main Hoon Naa…
    so it’s the power and stardom of KING Khan
    so Mr.hater so called @sachin11 …..you are wasting your time….Haters like you make SRK more famous

  • shahrukh has got good communication skill, and handles media well. the stardom does not last long,it keeps on changing every single year… so much ego doesnot suit him,every actor has their strengths and weaknesses. you dont need to curse another actor to appreciate one actor….

  • #Navin

  • #Sahin11

    srk has 10 back to back hits in past 8 years and your bhai have 10 back to back flops till wanted :-p
    and you call bhai a king
    hahahahahahaha

  • love to see the haters being tortured badly by chennai express…. film is almost out of cinemas and still sleepless nights for haters….luv u king khan….

  • great words by SRK the true king and as usual haters barking on the kings page .
    ha ha ha. poor haters. can understand Ur frustration. 227 CRORES is only a dream for others.
    hope SRK s next movie touches 250 CRORE Mark. guess haters like @ navin would not only ‘vine’ but also tear their acilic brain.
    @dinda 11. really first tell KHAN to Atleast break 200 CRORE barrier than think of coming first.
    @bhai. looks like u have lost Ur collection. if SRK reaches 50 in next two years where ll AMIR and SALMAN be. ???

  • Last I checked the story was about SRK, not Salman or Aamir. In any case, there is no room for 50+ male leads in Bollywood. If there was, movies like CE would not be breaking records, but rather fizzle out as the low quality brain dead crap they are..

  • I lost lots of friends post Ra.One, apart from losing a lot of audience too. And after Chennai Express, I haven’t made any new friends but I have a whole new set of enemies now.After Raone “KARAN JOHAR” gone ARJUN RAMPAL” gone and about enemies my dear SRk you should be down to earth like Salman, Amir, Akshay, Hirthik they never claim themself a number one hero but you did many times I remember before RAONE you said the same thing G for ONE for me, means G-ONE production.Some people never change himself and SRK is one of those types of guy.

  • So SRK admits that Ra One was not a hit.But ofr indicine he has 10 consecutive hits .Strange that indicine gives hit status for a film which just about recovered the budget only for the producers.Forget the profits.Many distributors and exhibitors lost money.the film is by far an average,if not below average one.
