‘On New Year’s Eve I Think I Should Be Drinking,’ Confesses A Candid SRK And There’s More!

Shah Rukh Khan needs no introduction! The name that echoes synonymous with the word stardom, is the same name that reigns Bollywood (no surprises there). Also known as King Khan, Badshah, King of romance and recently the unclaimed King of wit, SRK is truly the embodiment of everything we wonder about!

However, the silver jubilee star after all these years in the limelight still has a persona that is mystique and to-die-for! But behind the face of the glamour and glitz there is a man, hardly known.

In a recent interview with GQ, Shah Rukh, unfolded a few unheard chapters of his life, like never before. He spoke about losing his parents early and the effect it has had on him.

“I’m 51. I lost my dad when I was 14 or 15, and my mother when I was 25. That void never gets filled. If you lose your parents too early, you have to grow up too fast. You can’t play with toys. I play with my children’s toys now. I’m just a father who didn’t have toys.”

 

After attaining fandom like no star ever has, SRK also gave his take about the wealth that surrounds him.

“Don’t philosophise until you’re rich first. I used to be poor, and I can tell you there’s nothing romantic about it.”

 

The star also confessed his love for cooking and how Italian has him go!

“My family used to own restaurants, so there’s a part of me that’s quite servile. I’m learning how to cook Italian food – I can make pasta, risotto and tiramisu right now – but what I really enjoy is serving people, and making sure they’re well fed. I’m building a new kitchen so I can cook more.”

 

SRK also opened up about his desire of learning to play the guitar well and having his own boy band someday with his sons.

“A few years ago in Spain, I bought two really expensive guitars – one for me and one for my son Aryan – and told him that we should learn to play together. The good thing is he has, and he’s pretty good.

AbRam, my three-and-a-half-year-old, is musically inclined too. If I ever do learn the guitar, we could have our own boy band.”

 

Talking about his fitness plans for the coming year, SRK agreed to chances of getting healthier but only after the eve!

“I will be from January 5th. I’d say earlier, but on New Year’s I think I should be drinking.”

Common, now cut him some slack! We’ll all be hungover anyway. :p
