Mumbai: Shah Rukh Khan, the self-made superstar of Bollywood, received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Locarno Film Festival (LFF) in Switzerland recently.
Asked by LFF’s YouTube channel if he would continue to act forever, the Bollywood badshah said that he wished to die on a film set while acting.
“Will I act forever? Yeah, till the day I die, I my life’s dream is for somebody to say action and then I die. They say cut, and then I don’t get up. ‘It’s over now, please?’ I say, ‘No, till you all say it’s okay, you all say it’s okay for me. Yes, I’d love to act forever,” quipped Shah Rukh.
“Like I said, I’m not a very serious actor, and that I found out some amazing internal things about acting to showcase to people. I just celebrate the joys of life through my acting. For me, if I’m able to entertain, to me to be able to create in whatever sense, not in a mad, amazing, mad scientist way. I create, just create, to share joy, to give love. Art, painting, singing, music – all of them mean the same thing to me. There is no difference,” shared SRK, who will be turning 59 on November 2.
“If I can entertain you for two minutes, it’s love. If I can love someone for 50 years, that’s entertainment. If I can entertain someone for 30 seconds, it’s creative. So I find all different names for the same thing, and I really enjoy sharing this joy, making people have a feeling for an hour or so and enjoy themselves. And sometimes you miss them out. That’s the only thing that makes me sad. Why did I let down people? Why couldn’t I give them enough love or entertainment or creativity, or whatever the name you can,” he added.
