SRK's Talk SHOWS

My post today is about Shah Rukh Khan. I have always admired this man for his straightforwardness and charisma. His latest flick Chennai Express is out and naturally we see him getting aired everywhere. I was thus able to catch a couple of his interviews on the indian media. One on NDTV with Pronnoy Roy and the other one with Rajat Sharma on India TV. And on both the talk shows, SRK shone with his famous and sometimes controversial wit and humor. I will discuss here just the highlights. Am sure that you can watch the full video of the two on Youtube.


Something interesting that SRK advised his young audience on the NDTV talk show was that they should not believe in the nonsense they get to hear about hating materialism. He said that the effort should be to make one's life as comfortable and cosy as possible both for yourself and your loved one. So ignore all those who recommend the quest of peace on some remote mountain in the Himalayas etc...ignore those who tell you to concentrate your mind on the inner soul and find peace. There is no soul, just life. And it is best lived affluently. He said that he had known poverty in the past. And he found nothing romantic about it. He had turned orphan too early in his life and had to struggle his way up. He knew a thing or two about how difficult life can be.
On the Aap Ki Adalat show with Rajat Sharma, SRK faced the most gruesome of attacks with the wittiest of replies. His gift of making any scenario entertaining shone through. I remember his telling on an interview once that his mother had taught him that someone who can make others laugh and smile never loses. At times, his sense of humor lands him in fishy waters but you cannot please everyone, can you?
