    Shah Rukh Khan: I feel powerful with my job that I do

    The badshah of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan has been crowned with the ‘Most powerful star in the world’ title but the 48-year-old star says that he doesn’t feel any power within him. The actor, who topped the Forbes India Celebrity 100 power list, stated during an interview, "I don't understand that. When we see things from outside it seems that there must be lot of power here. 25 years of work and I have never felt any kind of power. Apart from in the competence of the job that I do. I feel very powerful, I learn my lines, I try and use the space, I try to enact a scene, I try to feel it. I feel very powerful at that point of time. Besides that I have never felt powerful at all."

    He continued his comments saying that he is very shy, introvert person and he is always nervous, “I need to be taken care of. So I have insulated myself with the work that I do. Surrounded myself there is so much work that I am given less access to the outside world because otherwise I will be completely exposed as a dithering, nervous wreck kind of a thing. Am not at all powerful!" Calling himself a monkey, Shah Rukh declared that he wants to act and make audience happy, “I am a bandar, I am a monkey and I say this with the most amount of respect I have for entertainment.”

    The year 2013 has given many gifts to the actor. This year, Shah Rukh got the biggest happiness of his life, becoming a father to his third chid AbRam through surrogacy. His last flick Chennai Express broke all Box Office records and became the highest grosser of the year. Shah Rukh was the lead face of the same and the film was made under his company Red Chillies Entertainment. The award-winning actor is presently associated with projects like Happy New Year, Fan and Raees.
