Shah Rukh Khan’s advice to unfollow self-help books tips on love sure needs to be followed!

There is nothing is like a sure shot mantra of romance which apparently some self-help books claim to promote. And well, this has been said by the King of Romance, Shah Rukh Khan himself. The superstar has actually redefined the word romance with his films, but still, he advises people to not follow any rule given out in self help books.

In a recent interview, SRK shared his views on love and said, “Abhi toh pyaar ho gaya, toh khatam ho gayi baat. Aisa nahin hota. Sometimes, I come across stuff like…couples in a relationship for long need to go out more often, have sex twice a week and compliment each other. This is the kind of advice which you get in self-help books. I keep getting these links on Twitter, like five things a man should do with a woman, etc (chuck les). My advice is that you should not follow all that. Talking about my fans, if I have millions of people loving me, it means I have to work million times harder to keep that going. More than that, and I don’t want to sound self-obsessed here, but I love `me’ even more. I have to do it for myself, so that I can love myself more by doing better work.”

Well, this one advice by SRK sure needs to be followed as love has to be natural and impromptu. It can’t be taught, right?

Further, on being asked if he takes love for granted, SRK says, “A lot of people tell me that I have passed that phase of competing. I believe there are no goals, there are only milestones that you have to cross. When you reach a milestone, you can stand there and have a cup of tea. You don’t live there, you move on. Having said that, I know there are a lot of people who love me and you can’t take love for granted. Love changes and I know that better than anyone else, I am the most romantic hero in the world (smiles). You have got to keep love alive whatever happens.”

On work front, Shah Rukh Khan will be seen next in Gauri Shinde’s ‘Dear Zindagi’ with Alia Bhatt.
