Shahrukh Khan’s Acting tips!

Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan, widely regarded as one of the best actors in the industry for his award-winning performances in films like Chak De India and Swades, took to Twitter to share some of tips on acting.

“Acting Gyaan – 1. Acting is expressing what you don’t understand, not what you know. If you know it, then it’s a fact. That’s facting not acting!

“2. Acting is giving your heart, knowing you will lose it. Feeling the truth even when it’s a lie. Believing it’s permanent knowing it won’t last” he tweeted.

Khan awaits the release of his only release of 2014 – Happy New Year, directed by Farah Khan, scheduled to release during the festive season of Diwali.

  • yy mithaiwala just talk of our kings acting and avoid bringing aamir in it as we also know that he acts better than our king and he has beaten our kings record in just 4 months while our king took 4 years so compare our king with saif ali khan but not that great actor Aamir khan

  • Acting wise Srk>ranbir>hrithik>aamir>akshay>ajay. As for as acting skills of bhai is concerned i dont know where to put him. But sallu bhai still rocks bcz srk just give hits and sallu hits and run.lol

  • @sss it is very difficult to prove that our king is best actor but we 4 billion fans will continue trying like our king also try to act

  • Why salman or hritik fans commenting here if there own actor doesn’t know even A of acting. One stammers n other shows bare chest. If you say this is acting then better leave this article. It is for class people not for classless lallu or hritik fan.

  • Moronic @sss thinks hr is overrated. . My question is who is always hyped by media? Khans or hr? ? Obvo khans. Movies lyk ce n yjhd got many nomination though they didn’t deserve. .while much better k3 was ignored. . .hrithik is an actor who has all qualities like talent,luks,physique,stunts,dance,humbleness. But this moronic media hypes khans n rk. .hr wasn’t underrated before guzaarish. But after 2010,he has been underrated. Srk,rk n amir are much more overrated than hr. .

  • He’s talking about acting? First tell him to have a dialogue without stammering.
    Srk should be casted in ‘Yeh hai bakrapur’ part-2

  • @nipun
    I feel the opposite. Dhoom 3 role required more dedication, research and perfection than Hrithik in D2. Watch the behind the scenes of Dhoom 3 especially double role scenes.
    According to me,
    actingwise,
    Aamir>ajay>ranbir>hrithik/salman/srk.
    Salman doesnt get proper script else he would have shown his talents.

  • In my opinion best actor bollywood history are
    1. Srk
    2. Daleep kumar
    3. Big B
    4. Amir khan

  • @sky he!he! funny (your trying to copy me).@sky srk is not weak in comedy,because in comedy movie you should have good comice timing, where have proved himself in many movies , and you should also know that he also have some good comedy performance likes of: baadshah,main ho na , kabhi haan kabhi na (romantic comedy) and kal ho na , so it is not his weakness,but he is not consastant in it
    @ nipun, Full of life means living the best a person can be.That person is always positive and can’t help but bring joy to others, like the one in kal ho na ho, mpkd and fanaa (first half).

  • @sss. dont talk rubbish about other actor’s, even they have contributed alot to film industry, speacially hrithik and aamir, and about hrithik he is some how performing better than srk these days.

  • OMG looks who back to ‘tag team’ with ‘babaji ki lungi’, its the former chaiwala now known as ‘Y Y Lungiwala’…!

    You 2 ‘duplicate’ jokers are commenting here about how poor Aamir looked as ‘joker’ in Dhoom 3 and yes granted he didnt look as good as Heath Ledger’s Joker character from Batman 2008 movie but he still looked better than anything Bollywood has had to offer in the last 20 years as a circuswala. Aamirs double role act in Dhoom 3 was universally more loved loved by audiences as otherwise it wouldnt have been viewed so much n thus beat the crappy records of Lungi Express n fake cartoonish records of Rohit 3. Aamirs Double Role antics were more convincing than Rohits double/ triple role in Rohit 3 where he played Papa Rohit, Hubby Rohit, Super Wannabe Non Flying Hero Rohit n in the end Rohit was seen reborn as Baby Rohit but I wont class that as his role until we see it in the next movie. Oh yes I suggest you get your vhs copy of Duplicate where Sarkar excelled in his double role firstly as the Evil Thakur of Chennai n then as the new kid on the block- Youtube King…! Best double role act ever according to lungiwalas… :-p

  • @nipin senior Again with the anti aamir comment- you loser your hritic isnt underrated by anyone here- if anything he was overrated by everybody for a decade until 2010 when his Stardom aka KITES came crushing down to earth n then he did that horrible Fly Documentary with Bhansali. Hritic has found his rightful place in Bollywood- second best after Khan trio- Rockstar RK is definitely not overrated n much better than Hritic ever was so pretty soon he will overtake Hritic so wait for that moment as its not too far away you moronic drunk.

  • I don’t want to argue wid @true fan who thinks amir was great in d3 n calling it better dan hr in d2. .leave it. .i cann’t make understand him. .he has put hr n srk same place wid salman. .lol

  • Theatre, television, movies SRK has done it all! No other actor in his generation has the vast repertoire that he has. When others were stuck in safe teen love stories, it was SRK who had guts to do negative roles. Legendary directors’ first choice has always been SRK whether it was Mani Ratnam, Kamal Haasan, Shankar or even Rajkumar Hirani.
    Only a great actor is on wishlist of every filmmaker.

  • @nipun
    Even I dont want to argue with you who thinks Hrithiks acting in Dhoom 2 was better than Aamir in Dhoom 3. It seems you havent seen D3, its DVD is out go watch it.
    And yes,
    Aamir>Ajay>Ranbir>Hrithik/Salman/Srk. If you are jealous of Aamir then let it be.
    I agree with @navin that you are still immature.

  • Arguing wid @navin bhojpuri is like wasting your time. According to him,ready is better dan znmd n guzaarish. So you can judge his thinking by this comment. Now hez saying rk is much better dan hro! Tell him to do roles of jodha akbar n dhoom 2. . Bt hro can easily do barfi n rockstar as he has played much challanging role like guzaarish n kmg. .
    Yes,rk is better dan amir and salman. .bt dat doesn’t mean hez better dan greek god,the most complete superstar of bollywood.

  • @nipun,
    don’t underrate aamir. i hate those people who overrate him, but that doesn’t mean to underrate him.you need to watch movies like :lagaan,sarfarosh,Aaa,3i,rdb,ghulam,akele hum akele tum,dil hai ki manta nahin,dil chahta hai, and many more.
    but, he is not better actor than srk and hrithik, because srk and hro’s top 5 best performances and top 10 is better than him:
    hro’s top 5 best:
    1:kmg-best performance of 2003
    2:guzaarish-best performance of 2010
    3:agneepath-2nd best performance of 2012, after irrfan khan in pst
    4:ja-best performance of 2008
    5-d2-best performance of 2006
    srk’s top 5:
    1:swades-best performance of 2004
    2:cdi-best performance of 2007
    3:kabhi haan kabhi naa-best performance of 1994
    4:baazigar: best performance of 1993
    5:ddlj-best performance of 1995
    aamir’s top 5:
    1:lagaan-best performance of 2001
    2:sarfarosh-best performance of 1999
    3:rangeela-2nd best performance of 1995, after srk in ddlj
    4:rang di basanti-2nd best performance of 2006, after hro in d2
    5:3 idiots-2nd best performance of 2009, after big b in paa
    acting wise:
    srk>hrithik>aamir=ajay>akki=ranbir
    and it’s because srk is better actor then hro in all gener’s, except:autistic, period drama’s(but srk and hro have done very few period drama’s and also action) and action and some how he have more style in his acting,and about ajay you should know that good actor’s can only act well under the belt of good director’s where he have work the most.
    the above list was there acting skill with good director’s but if it’s about working with bad director’s, and perfoming on it, then best actor’s are:
    ajay>akshy>salman>srk=aamir>hro>ranbir
    and if it’s about those actor’s who have work the most with bad director’s then it will be:
    akshy>ajay>salman>srk>aamir>hrithik>ranbir
    @true fan. aamir khan’s acting was terrible in d3 not good.

  • Just noticed that most people here seem to be judging the acting capabilities of an actor based on the success of the film. Come on people, I mean, the legend of bhagat singh was a flop but ajay was fantastic is that. Guzaarish was a flop but Hrithik was amazing in that. Swades was flop but srk was fantastic in that. Meanwhile, successful films dont necessarily have great performances from its lead actors. I mean, is vivek oberois performance in grand masti top notch? I dont think so. As to the ratings of the top stars, everyone has their opinion, and here is mine. I’m being completely honest about my views, if someone doesn’t agree with it, thats fine because each persons thinking varies.

    Acting wise:-
    Ajay> srk> ranbir> hrithik >aamir> akshay>salman
    Stardom wise:-
    srk=salman>aamir>hrithik>akshay=ranbir>ajay

    I put srk and salman together in the stardom list since salman might be a little more popular than srk in India but if you consider worldwide, srk is way ahead.
    Now let me explain why I placed the actors in such a way in the acting department:-
    The first thing I know that I’ll be criticized against is for putting aamir behind ranbir and hrithik. The reason is, I feel that aamir does not have the capability to carry off an entire film on his own shoulders. I mean, take 3 idiots for example, aamir was great, no doubt, but the highlight of the film was the story and the dialogues and every character was remembered and appreciated. Rang de basanti had a brilliant storyline, aamir was good but again, other aspects of the film grabbed more attention than aamir. Ghajini was the only film I felt in which aamir was the soul. I mean, i cant imagine the movie without aamir. But, he failed miserably again in dhoom 3. He tried, for sure, but the mediocre script and the stupid action scenes couldnt save the film. I also didnt like him in fanaa, perhaps beacaue nobody beats srk iat romance! Next, it took me sometime to debate with myself whether I should put ranbir first or hrithik. I was really confuse. I decided to go with ranbir because of his amazing amazing performances in rockstar and barfi. Those 2 films really proved ranbirs credentials as an actor. The other films in which ranbir was outstanding were rajneeti, wake up sid and yjhd. He was ok in apkgk and anjaana anjaani. I loved hrithik in guzaarish, kmg, knph, dhoom 2. I felt he was ok in znmd and krish. Now coming to srk, hes miles ahead of the others when it comes to romantic films. I mean, even his diehrd haters would agree with me in this one. ddlj, kkhh, vz, khnh, k3g, mohabattein, these are evergreen classics. Srk has become kind of like a standard when it comes to romantic roles. Unlike aamir, srk has the capacity to take the entire film on his shoulders. Look at cdi, swades, mnik, don 2. Yo cannot imagine all those films with srk in it. Some people, especially the haters, say that he overacts a lot. Well, yeah, he overacted in oso, ce and main hoon na. But arent people supposed to overact in masala fims. Ajay overacts in golmaal series, sos, bol bachchan, etc. Salman overacts in all his films. Akshay overacts in rowdy rathore, boss, etc. Ranbir overacts in besharam. Those are the kind of films in which people are supposed to overact, don’t you think? Now, people would not have a doubt why I placed salman last.

  • @yy mithaiwala,why you’re pointing towards me only.couldn’t you see @nipun hr’s fan said DDLJ,JTHJ and even K2H2 is overrated.didn’t you have any objection with that?I’m respected each and every actor like amir,hr,akshay who acted well previously.but when I found their fans are always abusing KING KHAN,why the hell I would leave them?I agree with your list but couldn’t understand one thing how amir best in comedy,I didn’t see any comedy movie of amir after rangeela that also full of overacting.style,when hr acted well in style acting type than SRK?watch KHNH and DON,you will know style of acting,lol.hr’s all good good movies like fiza,mk,kites,guzarish are big flop.still people couldn’t appreciate hr’s acting besides his papa’s sci-fi movies which is highly overrated like guzarish,especially I hate rohit type acting which is highly overrated.in which way you find kmg,guzarish are better than KHNH and MNIK in year 2003 and 2010,kindly tell me.in which way you find SRK now a days behind of hr?no doubt in CE,his comedy is good may not best but look at climax,how he acted with intense.also wait for FAN,RAEES at that time you’ll feel SRK in ACTING always ahead of every actor not only hr.in every genre with any type of role he is ahead of everyone.

    @nipun,SRK didn’t launched by his papa like hr,that you could say HE is overrarted actor.I remembered very well when he entered bollywood media,people compared him with SRK and then again he returned to his position.if you agree then ranbir is better than hr,that’s why media care about him why they will care about hr?SRK is the role model and favourite of billions from child to old aged persons,please don’t compare him with SRK who is behind ranbir now a days.

  • @indiicine,my 10:14am comment is very very important and given to clarify someone’s doubt.so it’s a kind request to you please publish this non abusive comment comment and show my comments to all,thanks in advance.

  • practice before you preach !!!! that was hilarious that ‘Expressing what you dont understand’. Perfect example of mental asylum patient !!!!

  • The whole comment section is too hilarious. Here some intelligent guys who think they are capable to judge actors. Most of them put Either Hr or Srk at no 1 while many put Aamir behind than Ranbir and Ajay Devgn.the reason for so called intelligent peoples best actor standard is that just because Srk did Mnik,cdi,khnh etc and Hr did Kmg,gujaarish etc role they are bigger and most talented actor. Rofl. In Big b’s 44 year old career Big b did most challenging role came in 2005 with black and 2009 with Paa. So according to their intelligence even big b is not better actor than these 2 legend Srk and Hr as one had 8 filmfare and other has 4 filmfare actor award. Kudos to your intelligence. More than critics and industry respectable actor you guys knows more than them.acting means to improve performance with each film and every character. Aamir is always one who try and eventually got successful with various characters he played.he is always been consistent his acting performance not zigzag like others.

  • Srk is one of the worst actors in our country and his fans are so cheap.
    They usually put srk in 1st position but the fact is that sallu, aamir, hritik and ranbir are ruling the bollywood industry

  • Tere DDLJ ki Bakwas Wali Story Se
    Tere Haule Haule Haklane Wle Gatiya STYLE Se
    Budhe Srk Teri 3rd Clas NATURE Se
    Teri Bakwas Same ACTING Se
    Teri Aane Wali Har Flop MOVIES se Nafrat Karenge Hum,
    JAB TAK HAI JAAN…
    JAB TAK HAI JAAN. –
    All Die Hard KING KONG Haters

  • I dont how to use my words for the person who
    hate the citizen(shah rukh khan) of his country who
    is making them to feel proud for being indian and
    make india to be known globally from his acting n
    social works. I thnk such people unpatriotic towards
    their country n not suitable to b called as indian.
    What u hater guys knw abt shah rukh and salman n
    differences between them.so i refer them once to
    read all the media n sources on them. Just read the
    wikipedia of both n u will find out or ask with
    foreign people abt them n u will find out who is
    famous.from all survery u will find only shahrukh.he
    does social service bt nt want to go infront of
    media. Such activity is the activity of star n great
    people. Just c salman for doing social service he
    has opend org n advertizing to b popular n says if u
    want to do scene of over acting thn call srk. Haha.

  • @katrine kaif

    Love you hun- pure beauty…! ;-)

    You rocked in Jab Tak Hai Jaan with your bare minimalistic acting despite having to restrain that actor opposite you who was overacting in every single scene- you handled yourself very well I thought n never gave into the temptation of overacting…! ;-)
