SRK is not his own fan...
- I am not a fan of myself — Shah Rukh Khan gets talking like only he can
It is perhaps the easiest job ever to predict the otherwise unpredictable Shah Rukh Khan’s favourite colour. Yes, it’s black. But the Bollywood Badshah likes his walls to be white. In town on Monday, Shah Rukh spoke colours — and a lot more — at ITC Sonar, as he launched Shades of Bengal, a coffee- table book by Kansai Nerolac, the paint brand he endorses.

PAINT IT WHITE
I like all shades of white when it comes to home paints. I like light colours on walls. It gives a feeling of spaciousness. Most of the walls in my home are white and one part is in bright colour. I like gentler colours. I am not much into bright colours. My daughter’s (Suhana) room was pink for a very long time but now it has changed because she is growing up. My son’s (Aryan) room is yellow and blue in Breaking Bad colours and stuff like that. They are quite interesting to look at. He has designed it. I have a library. That’s the place where I sit and spend most of my time when I am at home. It has no telephone, music or television.
Shades of bengal
To me, shades of Bengal means the spirit of Bengal, the literature of Bengal, the heritage of Bengal, the colourfulness of Bengal and apart from the landscape and the buildings, everything that is so beautiful about Bengal, I think the most beautiful are the people so I think the heart of Bengal.
The heart of Calcutta
I had come to Calcutta many years ago when I was in college. I had come for two things... to perform theatre here, outside Delhi for the first time. It was a very big thing for us! And then I had come to shoot an audio-visual on the City of Joy. I just roamed around the streets and I lived in a small hotel room, sharing with three friends. I had seen Calcutta a lot then.
But since then, it’s nearly been a lakh of people every time I come here for the (KKR) matches. I like the realness of people in Bengal and Calcutta. Sab ke sab ekdam real hain, koi banaavati baat nahin hai. Gussa aata hai toh gussa aata hai. Agar pyaar aata hai toh galey lagaa lete hain. I have gone to other cities also. Wahan ke log sirf apne logon ko pyaar karte hain, lekin the love and the appreciation we get in hosting teams here, I feel the proudest. It makes me feel humble that we have such a large heart in Calcutta.
If I have to shoot a film in Bengal or Calcutta, it has to be a film set in Calcutta. None of the films that I am thinking of have it right now. I have seen parts of Piku. Amitji (Amitabh Bachchan) is shooting a film (TE3N) here with Nawazuddin (Siddiqui), who is working with me in Raees. It’s beautiful to shoot films here. It’s very encompassing. I would love to come and shoot a film here.
Fan and the SRK fan-dom
They (Fan’s makers — director Maneesh Sharma and producer Yash Raj Films) have done a lot of research. We met a lot of boys and girls before we started the film. I still don’t understand how people love me so much and the way they care for me…. It is quite a responsibility and sometimes I get surprised.. how can people love you so much? Actually, I don’t like calling people my fans. Fan has come from the term fanatic. It is kind of an extreme love for someone. It’s quite schizophrenic at times. It’s very dichotomous so I don’t know.... I hope you all like it. I saw the film three days back. It is one of the few films that I can’t decide if it is right or wrong. I want everybody who sees it to enjoy the fan part and the star part. It was a very different but very satisfying experience.
I am not a fan of myself
As a matter of fact, I believe that people who become actors are people who don’t love themselves. That’s why they want to be someone else every morning. I am not a fan of myself.
Raees vs Sultan on ID
It’s not a question of friendship or dushmani or anger. There are only about 52 weeks in a year and 200 films are made toh kuch na kuch saath mein hi aayenge chaahe kuch bhi koshish karo.
Karan Arjun sequel?
We (he and Salman Khan) didn’t have any conversation. If we look at our diaries, then jaisi ki Rakheeji ne kahaa hai, bahut din lag jayenge!
