At the Locarno Film Festival on Saturday, Shah Rukh Khan was presented with the Pardo Alla Carriera honor. He participated in a Q&A session at the film festival on Sunday.
The Pardo Alla Carriera award was given to actor Shah Rukh Khan on Saturday at the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland. During a Q&A session at the festival on Sunday, he shared candid insights about his life and profession. He talked about his brief experience with celebrity and the value of leading a straightforward family life.
‘I wear it like a tee, not a tuxedo’
Given that he is among the best performers in the nation, Shah Rukh was questioned about how he handles his celebrity. “I come from a background where there’s nothing more important if I touch people’s lives,” he stated. Since I’ve never understood celebrity, I want to make them happy. Like a monkey, I’ll stop at nothing to help you. It makes me pleased when I’m liked for that. Though they all have lives, they still make the effort to adore me. It all has to do with me and them, and fame is just a result of that.
The actor went on to say that while fame isn’t “important” to him, he “respects” it, emphasizing that all he does is what he loves in the hopes of making others happy. “Stardom is respectable but not important.” I usually remark that I dress down rather than dress up. I don’t have to comprehend it or claim it. When I stop spreading happiness, it won’t matter. I just try to be myself on and off television, not trying to be a star.
‘We are a normal family’
Shah Rukh said, “My family asks me if I don’t get tired of doing the same thing that I’ve been doing for over three decades.” “I know I am limited,” he remarked. Although I lack the range that performers with greater skill have, I don’t want to give up. My folks enquire as to how I never get fatigued. I’m delighted when I act, not because I’m the center of attention, but because I could make someone happy who I may never meet. Despite my dislike, I wear makeup to work.
The actor said that his priority is leading a typical, straightforward life at home, despite the impression that he has a “rockstar life” from the outside. Beyond my stunning appearance (grins) and celebrity, our family is just like any other. I am aware that it appears strange and unique from the outside. However, I want my children—Aryan Khan, Suhana Khan, and AbRam—to be appreciative of their advantages. With her knowledge, the wife (Gauri Khan) maintains equilibrium. It is fundamentally simple. They support me because I’m just someone who figured out how to convey joy,” he continued.
