Covering Bollywood and the Hindi Cinema

Gotta admire SRK! Not only for his gumption and his histrionics (think Swades) but also for his wit. His interviews are highly entertaining and the man can talk about anything under the sun! Here are some excerpts from an interview Shah Rukh gave where he ridicules all the talk about his fall out with the Bachchans. Take it away SRK!                         

On His Fallout With The Big B:
"We hate each other. Right now we are planning to hire assassins to kill each other".

On His Fallout With Yash Chopra:

"I have even decided to take on Yash Chopra by destroying the negatives of all his films. That is how bad it is. My assassins are all over Mumbai and even outside Mr. Bachchan's house attempting to take over,' Shah Rukh told CNN-IBN network in an interview".

On Abhishek:

"I think newspapers and channels should just freshen up. They should try to bring up some fresh scandal stories, like me having an affair with Abhishek Bachchan. That would be more interesting"

On Piracy:

"There are certain things that are beyond your control, like the rains in Mumbai. Either you can keep on being concerned about them or you can do try doing something about them. I can do neither".

On Life:
"I enjoy it without being overwhelmed. I had said this about 'Devdas' as well. If you are going to run with Carl Lewis, you feel relaxed because you know you are not going to win. So, just enjoy the fact that you are getting the chance to run with Carl Lewis".
