SRK Security Tightened After Underworld Threat-Final DT Note pg14 - Page 5

Ya, I go to a lot of places still, seminars, politicians' dinners, etc. where there will be one or two people who'll be nice to me on the face of it, but will bitch behind my back, or in the press. And I want to say, samne bol na, main tere ko batata hoon (why don't you speak up in front of me, and I'll show you). Because deep down inside I'm a Dilli ka goonda. Nobody realises that in Bombay because I don't even use the language of Delhi any more. I'm very courteous and nice and normally sweet. But I'm a Dilli ka goonda. I could not say a sentence like I just told you, without using a gaali. I've got into my share of fights, broken teeth, done my hockey fights, broken heads with bricks, been in jail. My mother's got me out of fights many times. But at the end of it all, you come to Bombay, and there's a side of you that nobody's seen. People now say, he's stylish, intelligent, etc. Nobody sees that basically I'm quite a cheapster from Delhi. The change is that now I just get angry for about 20 seconds, then I think, it's alright, it's alright. I have so much. Friends like Juhi send me messages saying, you tell us all to be patient. Stick to your things, don't get angry with people. They don't matter. You matter so much. I guess those thoughts come to your mind now and you ease yourself. But deep down, there's no radical change...
