Shah Rukh Khan Reveals He "Hates The Feeling" Of Failure: "I Cry A Lot In My Bathroom"
One of the biggest stars in the world, Shah Rukh Khan is loved by one and all. One of the reasons behind this immense adulation is because of his relatability. Despite being among the most successful and wealthiest stars, the Jawan actor has also faced his share of failures and low points in life. How does he deal with it? He cries in his bathroom, like most of us. The actor attended the Global Freight Summit in Dubai on Tuesday, where he shared how he deals with failures and how he picks himself up and moves on.
“I hate feeling this and then I cry a lot in my bathroom. I do not show it to anyone. You can wallow and self-pity for that much time. And then you have to believe that the world is not against you. Your film did not go wrong because of you or because the world is conspiring to destroy your work. You have to believe that you made it badly. Then you have to move on,” he remarked.
Known for his sound advice, the actor shared some pearls of wisdom about recalibrating after things go wrong. “There are moments of despair but there are moments which say, ‘no, shut up, get up and get on with it’. You have to do it because the world is not against you. You should not believe that things are going wrong only for you. Life moves on. Life does what it does. You cannot start blaming life for what it does. You have to remember it must be something that I or the business did wrong; or the business, marketing or strategy went wrong. I need to figure it out, recalibrate and come back.” he added.
On the work front, Shah Rukh Khan is currently working on Sujoy Ghosh’s King, which will also feature his daughter Suhana Khan.
