I’m Hungry - The Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge actor said, “It’s been a long time since I bloody won an award” leaving the crowd to split. Hence the actor had no qualms to reveal that he wished to devour this award all by himself. To further express his humorously cocky mood, SRK said in the voice of his character Vikram Rathore from Jawan, “I’m cocky.”

Signing His Movies Impulsively- The Dil Toh Pagal Hai actor confessed that he signs his movies impulsively without giving them much thought. He also wishes that a voice comes to his head from the future hinting that this will be a bad idea. SRK added that he never thinks about the box office results of his films before signing them.

Good Begets Good- Shah Rukh stressed that he focuses on essaying good characters since he believes that good begets good. He added that whenever he played negative roles, he made sure that his character died a dog’s death. He also hinted that he believes that everything ultimately falls into place in our lives too. He hinted that before 2023 and his long hiatus, many of his movies tanked at the box office, and on the personal level too, his son Aryan Khan was embroiled in an alleged drug case. But eventually, the tables turned and the last year was a stellar one for me. On a concluding note, he said, that after a turbulent phase, life takes a turn for the better, and if it doesn't, “Picture Abhi Baaki Hai Mere Dost.”
