Shah Rukh Khan gave a statement about his female co-stars and we can’t agree more

Shah Rukh Khan was last seen on the big screen in ‘Dear Zindagi’. However, one cannot say that it was a Shah Rukh Khan-starrer as the film’s lead was Alia Bhatt and the movie revolved around the actress. SRK himself had stated that his role is kind of an extended cameo. So, when recently in an interview with a leading daily, he was asked if he was okay to play a second lead to an actress in the film, he said that in most of his films, the woman had a great role.

The superstar said, “I have mostly done films where the woman has a great role. I have never done films that are totally about me. It might not be completely female-oriented. But if you see ‘DDLJ’, ‘Darr’, ‘Anjaam’, ‘Baazigar’, ‘Dil To Pagal Hai’, ‘Chak De India’, ‘My Name Is Khan’ and even ‘Chennai Express’, the ladies do play the hero. Very few heroes will get their car toppled down and shot at point-blank like in ‘Dilwale’. (Smiles) However strange and outlandish it may be. I’m okay and really comfortable if women take the lead in every aspect of life. Whether it’s business, management, creativity or in love, I think women should take the lead.”

“I have no awkwardness saying the film belongs to XYZ because I know my own bone and I know how to gnaw at it, I know how to bury it and then take it and gnaw at it again. I know my bone! Who I am, whether I’m the best or not, whether I’m good enough or not, I am who I am! And that you can’t take away from me. We take a whole lifetime to understand ourselves and even then, that learning won’t be complete. Just be yourself. It’s better to be unique than perfect, even if uniqueness is marred. I’m extremely marred in every which way, I’m quite damaged like that but it’s me and it’s damaged. Whether it makes me happy or sad is my call. I don’t need to repair it according to somebody else’s standing,” he added.

Well, we so agree with Shah Rukh.

The actor will next be seen in ‘Raees’ which stars Pakistani actress Mahira Khan opposite him.

‘Eat Sleep Bollywood Repeat’ is his life Mantra. Dance is his first love and Rani Mukerji is his eternal crush. He is someone who loves being himself, and as for the ones who don’t agree, his reply? “Talk to my hand!”
