Shah Rukh Khan admits he started drinking after THIS film, ‘That’s one downside…’
Shah Rukh Khan is the King of all hearts. It is very entertaining and fun when the actor shares candid stories and anecdotes from his life.
Shah Rukh Khan recently shared that he accepted the titular role in Devdas, despite receiving advice against it from many veterans, simply because he believed his mother would have liked it.
Anyone can be a star, or even a superstar; but no one can be another Shah Rukh Khan. This is not only due to his spectacular acting abilities, stellar looks and charismatic screen presence, but also because of who he has chosen to be, and not to be, off-screen. At the age of 58 and three decades after his film debut, the excitement in his eyes when taking on a new project remains infectious, sparking excitement in the eyes of everyone who watches him as well.
A complete outsider, Shah Rukh Khan didn’t take over anyone else’s throne, but built his own. Nonetheless, his journey has not been free of sorrow. One of his greatest regrets is that his parents passed away before he made it big in the movies. While he has never missed an opportunity to talk about them, he has also shared his sadness over their absence during his rise to fame.
Shah Rukh Khan – The greatest of all. He is the King who is loved and admired by millions of his fans. His fandom spreads through the globe. No matter country or language, Shah Rukh Khan has fans who adore him to the core. His has some iconic movies that received global appreciation. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Karan Arjun, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, and many more that got him immense fame. Movies like My Name Is Khan, Chennai Express and more also did fabulously at the box office. But one film that left a major impact is Devdas.
Shah Rukh also admitted that he was quite anxious while filming Devdas, even turning to alcohol while playing the character. When asked if it helped, Shah Rukh replied with his trademark humour, “Well, I got the Best Actor award.” He added, “It might have helped, but I started drinking after the film and that’s one downside to it.”
Khan was then asked about turning to alcohol to get into the skin of the character and whether it helped. He cheekily said that he received the Best Actor Award, thus it worked. And then he revealed that he started drinking after Devdas. It became major headlines in entertainment news.
ShahRukh Khan is currently gearing up for his upcoming movie King. The shooting for the same is expected to go on floors soon. Suhana Khan is also said to be a part of the film. Abhishek Bachchan is going to be the villain.
