How it feels when you become a superstar like Shah Rukh Khan? Everything he does, it's big and grand!

But that's all what we see about him. There's another side of this coin too and Shah Rukh recently shared about that side in an interview with a leading magazine!

According to the report in a leading daily, the 50 year old actor who opened up about his personal life was quoted saying, "I am like a fakir in my personal life. I wear the baggiest clothes. I have never had the time to enjoy the money that I have. It does not seem like it, but my family and I have a very simple lifestyle." (sic)

And looks like the Badshaah of Bollywood spends all the time shooting and working which almost made him forget who he is. He continued the statement by saying, "I am used to being a star so I behave like one." (sic)

He liked material things because he never had them and quoted, "The reason why I liked material was that if I had not tasted it, I wouldn't know how to give it up. You can't give up something you don't have. All things that I earn now are for film making." (sic)

Well, it's sure whatever he is today is all because of his perseverance!

It does not seem like it, but my family and I have a very simple lifestyle." (sic) PLEASE read this-- there is no doubt that he is a hard working person , and all the money he has , it's not stolen... He earned every bit of it. But I/ my friends saw him shopping in "Bloomingdale " at Beverly Hills mall several times. It could be your or mr. Khan's version simple life style--- in this case I have no right to judge anyone. But when someone brings FAKIR or SHADHU ( means spiritual person) they don't practice this kind of luxury neither they claim themselves as a FAKIR... Because what we think about them it doesn't make any difference to them.

Fakir is not always said for poor dude...if u derive its actual meaning it means god's man...as in allah ke bande.. who believes in god, has faith in himself n god, does hard work..
He was a below middle class man of delhi n cuz of his hard work, he is now the king khan, badshah not only in india but in the whole world...
He has hans worldwide...
I salute him 4 that..
Shah Rukh Khan rocks!!!

He lives in a mansion, spends millions on dollars (quote not rupees) for his family and calling himself "fakir " what kind of joke it is? I'm also his fan that doesn't mean he has the right to be disrespectful towards our intelligence.
