Shah Rukh Khan is the best example and a huge inspiration as he came from outside and achieved stardom. He’s one of the biggest stars, not just in India but globally. Shah Rukh had once admitted that he became a star against all odds. In an interview, he had spoken about how he lacked everything which people thought was needed to be a star.
A while ago, during a chat with BBC, he was asked what made him a star despite the fact that he had everything going against him. He responded, “I came to Bombay by accident, I came for a year and I got sucked into films. I was a theatre actor and I wanted to try my hand at a different medium. How would films be. The whole thing was very enigmatic to me. I came here and I am still here after 5 years.”
He further added and believed that his uniqueness is what perhaps worked for him. “I wasn’t surrounded by commercial aura. I wasn’t 6 feet tall, I didn’t dress correctly, I didn’t have style of a film star and I didn’t suck up to anybody which is the way of film stars sometimes. I had nothing to lose actually and that was the problem. They thought this guy has nothing to lose so he can never be a star,” he said.
That’s exactly why, Khan had to begin his career with a lot of anti-hero roles. “When I came here people told me my hair and overall look is wrong, my attitude is wrong. They said I am arrogant and that I am not a nice guy. The told me I am the kind of person who won’t make it in Hindi films. I did a lot of anti-hero roles when I started and they told me it is completely wrong,” shared the ‘Jawan’ actor.
Shah Rukh will be seen next in Sujoy Ghosh’s ‘King’ which also stars Abhishek Bachchan and Suhana Khan.
