SRK talks about success

Badshah of Bollywood says 'success can isolate you and lead to failure'

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan on Tuesday said his way of dealing with moments of despair in life is to shut himself up in his bathroom and cry before getting on with the next thing.

Speaking at 'From Bollywood Superstardom to Business Success - Key Learnings On and Off Screen' session during the Global Freight Summit in Dubai, the actor-producer touched upon the failure of his movies before the pandemic, his philosophy on success and stardom, his childhood and how his goal is now to capture young audience.

Shah Rukh admitted that he is self-critical but does not show the moments of weakness to anyone.

"I cry a lot in my bathroom. You can wallow in self-pity for just about 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 and then you have to move on," he said.

One cannot blame life for failure, the actor said, adding that he tries to "recalibrate and come back".
