Covering Bollywood and the Hindi Cinema

Here is a short yet as always interesting interview of Shahrukh Khan:

On son Aryan’s reaction on KBC:
One day, Aryan came home from school and said his friend told him, “HeyAryan, your dad has an awesome sense of humour.” His teacher also gave me an ‘A’ grade for my hosting.

On comparing the satisfaction he gets from his films vis-a-vis KBC
After the first episode I got about 372 smses while for a super-duper hit film I get about 240 smses. film goes out of your hands once you finish the shoot and it releases. The mistakes or the shortcomings of an episode can be worked upon in the next episode. One can always work and rework.

On Shilpa Shetty winning Big Brother
It’s fantastic, though the reason for her winning — the entire racism issue —is not good from our point of view. I have seen Celebrity Big Brother. I am also told of the kind of outrageous and rude things they do there on the show and even get away with it because that’s the done thing.

Also, I hear that the lady who was responsible for hurting Shilpa was really apologetic for her behaviour. But it does feel great because Shilpa has been very graceful in her reactions and that grace is very Indian.

Shilpa was one of my first heroines. We worked in Baazigar together. All my heroines have made it big. Today, Shilpa too has done it. I feel proud of her.

On whether or not he’s doing Dhoom 3
I haven’t been asked to do Dhoom 3 in the first place. I have no idea how media is assuming things. So far,Adi (AdityaChopra) has not mentioned it to me.
