Shah Rukh Khan's Dream To Die On A Film Set

Shah Rukh Khan in a recent interview, mentioned that he wants to act until his last day and said that he’d prefer to go on a film set. He recently chatted with the Locarno Film Festival for their YouTube channel, where he opened up about his acting approach and future plans.

The actor received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Locarno Film Festival, where he was asked if he would want to act forever. He nodded and replied, “Will I act forever? Yeah, till the day I die, my life’s dream is for somebody to say action, and then I die. They say cut, and then I don’t get up. ‘It’s over now, please?’ I say, ‘No, till you all say it’s okay, you all say it’s okay for me. Yes, I’d love to act forever.”

During the same chat, he mentioned that stardom is a separate entity for him, distinct from his work and the genuine love and respect he receives from his fans. “It has nothing to do with what I do and what they do. So I’ve never thought of stardom as anything important. Yes, I respect it a lot. It has given me a lot of recognition, love, monies. My family feels happy because of it. But beyond that, stardom is not something that I carry as the first thing when I walk into a room. For me, I’ve always said this. It’s an old thing I always felt. I wear stardom like a T-shirt, not like a tuxedo. It’s not important,” he said.

Shah Rukh Khan will be next seen in Sujoy Ghosh’s King, which will also star his daughter, Suhana Khan.
