The inimitable Shah Rukh Khan on disliking criticism, being a fakir in his personal life,
“I have not come here to compete; I have come here to rule! I don’t have a father, mother, grandfather who can give me an extra push in the city so I am going to create something for myself which did not exist and will never exist after me.” The dimpled boy with dreams in his eyes made everything come alive for himself.
