Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is one of the biggest names in India and abroad. We recently revisited an old interview given by the actor, who talked about the toughest parts of being a successful actor. Shah Rukh said, “Getting up in the morning and finding out you are not completely bitten off. There are some parts of you that are left.”
“You know, you can marry – marriage is easy, to sustain it is difficult. To have kids is easy. Takes a little bit of work in the evening, and in nine months, you have one. But to bring them up well is difficult,” Shah Rukh said. The actor goes on to say that he tries to get 89 hours in a day. “Everybody wants a part of you, and they pay you for it. And you say okay, why not, make hay while the sun is shining.”
Finally, he shares an important life lesson given to him by late Bollywood choreographer Saroj Khan. She told him, “Kaam jab mile toh naa nahi kehna, kyuki jab nahi milta toh bohut dukh hota hai. (When you get work, never say no, because when you don't have work, it hurts a lot).”
